Caden and Andy had some money at first. Caden received 4 times as much money as Andy every day. At the end of 4 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Andy had $1430 at first and Caden had $1870 at the end of those 4 days, what is the ratio of Caden's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1870 |
Amount that Andy received every day
= 1870 - 1430
= $440
1 u = 440
Amount that Caden received every day
= 4 u
= 4 x 440
= $1760
Amount that Caden had at first
= 1870 - 1760
= $110
Total amount that Caden and Andy had at first
= 1430 + 110
= $1540
Caden's amount : Total amount
110 : 1540
1 : 14
Answer(s): 1 : 14
