Zane and Flynn had some money at first. Zane received 2 times as much money as Flynn every fortnight. At the end of 2 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Flynn had $1200 at first and Zane had $2350 at the end of those 2 fortnights, what is the ratio of Zane's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2350 |
Amount that Flynn received every fortnight
= 2350 - 1200
= $1150
1 u = 1150
Amount that Zane received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 1150
= $2300
Amount that Zane had at first
= 2350 - 2300
= $50
Total amount that Zane and Flynn had at first
= 1200 + 50
= $1250
Zane's amount : Total amount
50 : 1250
1 : 25
Answer(s): 1 : 25
