$1620 |
Amount that Harry received every week
= 1620 - 1380
= $240
1 u = 240
Amount that Liam received every week
= 5 u
= 5 x 240
= $1200
Amount that Liam had at first
= 1620 - 1200
= $420
Total amount that Liam and Harry had at first
= 1380 + 420
= $1800
Liam's amount : Total amount
420 : 1800
7 : 30
Answer(s): 7 : 30
