Daniel and Oscar had some money at first. Daniel received 2 times as much money as Oscar every fortnight. At the end of 4 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Oscar had $1200 at first and Daniel had $2240 at the end of those 4 fortnights, what is the ratio of Daniel's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2240 |
Amount that Oscar received every fortnight
= 2240 - 1200
= $1040
1 u = 1040
Amount that Daniel received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 1040
= $2080
Amount that Daniel had at first
= 2240 - 2080
= $160
Total amount that Daniel and Oscar had at first
= 1200 + 160
= $1360
Daniel's amount : Total amount
160 : 1360
2 : 17
Answer(s): 2 : 17
