Sam and Jack had some money at first. Sam received 5 times as much money as Jack every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Jack had $1360 at first and Sam had $1600 at the end of those 2 weeks, what is the ratio of Sam's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1600 |
Amount that Jack received every week
= 1600 - 1360
= $240
1 u = 240
Amount that Sam received every week
= 5 u
= 5 x 240
= $1200
Amount that Sam had at first
= 1600 - 1200
= $400
Total amount that Sam and Jack had at first
= 1360 + 400
= $1760
Sam's amount : Total amount
400 : 1760
5 : 22
Answer(s): 5 : 22
