Seth and Harry had some money at first. Seth received 4 times as much money as Harry every month. At the end of 6 months, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1950 |
Amount that Harry received every month
= 1950 - 1500
= $450
1 u = 450
Amount that Seth received every month
= 4 u
= 4 x 450
= $1800
Amount that Seth had at first
= 1950 - 1800
= $150
Total amount that Seth and Harry had at first
= 1500 + 150
= $1650
Seth's amount : Total amount
150 : 1650
1 : 11
Answer(s): 1 : 11
