Oliver and Vaidev had some money at first. Oliver received 5 times as much money as Vaidev every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Vaidev had $1350 at first and Oliver had $1650 at the end of those 2 weeks, what is the ratio of Oliver's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1650 |
Amount that Vaidev received every week
= 1650 - 1350
= $300
1 u = 300
Amount that Oliver received every week
= 5 u
= 5 x 300
= $1500
Amount that Oliver had at first
= 1650 - 1500
= $150
Total amount that Oliver and Vaidev had at first
= 1350 + 150
= $1500
Oliver's amount : Total amount
150 : 1500
1 : 10
Answer(s): 1 : 10
