$1820 |
Amount that Henry received every week
= 1820 - 1470
= $350
1 u = 350
Amount that Howard received every week
= 4 u
= 4 x 350
= $1400
Amount that Howard had at first
= 1820 - 1400
= $420
Total amount that Howard and Henry had at first
= 1470 + 420
= $1890
Howard's amount : Total amount
420 : 1890
2 : 9
Answer(s): 2 : 9
