Japheth and Rael had some money at first. Japheth received 4 times as much money as Rael every fortnight. At the end of 2 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Rael had $1350 at first and Japheth had $1700 at the end of those 2 fortnights, what is the ratio of Japheth's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1700 |
Amount that Rael received every fortnight
= 1700 - 1350
= $350
1 u = 350
Amount that Japheth received every fortnight
= 4 u
= 4 x 350
= $1400
Amount that Japheth had at first
= 1700 - 1400
= $300
Total amount that Japheth and Rael had at first
= 1350 + 300
= $1650
Japheth's amount : Total amount
300 : 1650
2 : 11
Answer(s): 2 : 11
