Wesley and Dylan had some money at first. Wesley received 2 times as much money as Dylan every fortnight. At the end of 6 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Dylan had $1360 at first and Wesley had $2380 at the end of those 6 fortnights, what is the ratio of Wesley's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2380 |
Amount that Dylan received every fortnight
= 2380 - 1360
= $1020
1 u = 1020
Amount that Wesley received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 1020
= $2040
Amount that Wesley had at first
= 2380 - 2040
= $340
Total amount that Wesley and Dylan had at first
= 1360 + 340
= $1700
Wesley's amount : Total amount
340 : 1700
1 : 5
Answer(s): 1 : 5
