Zane and Dylan had some money at first. Zane received 2 times as much money as Dylan every week. At the end of 6 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1800 |
Amount that Dylan received every week
= 1800 - 1350
= $450
1 u = 450
Amount that Zane received every week
= 2 u
= 2 x 450
= $900
Amount that Zane had at first
= 1800 - 900
= $900
Total amount that Zane and Dylan had at first
= 1350 + 900
= $2250
Zane's amount : Total amount
900 : 2250
2 : 5
Answer(s): 2 : 5
