Ivan and Bryan had some money at first. Ivan received 4 times as much money as Bryan every fortnight. At the end of 2 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Bryan had $1300 at first and Ivan had $1700 at the end of those 2 fortnights, what is the ratio of Ivan's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1700 |
Amount that Bryan received every fortnight
= 1700 - 1300
= $400
1 u = 400
Amount that Ivan received every fortnight
= 4 u
= 4 x 400
= $1600
Amount that Ivan had at first
= 1700 - 1600
= $100
Total amount that Ivan and Bryan had at first
= 1300 + 100
= $1400
Ivan's amount : Total amount
100 : 1400
1 : 14
Answer(s): 1 : 14
