Julian and Harry had some money at first. Julian received 2 times as much money as Harry every month. At the end of 8 months, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1840 |
Amount that Harry received every month
= 1840 - 1280
= $560
1 u = 560
Amount that Julian received every month
= 2 u
= 2 x 560
= $1120
Amount that Julian had at first
= 1840 - 1120
= $720
Total amount that Julian and Harry had at first
= 1280 + 720
= $2000
Julian's amount : Total amount
720 : 2000
9 : 25
Answer(s): 9 : 25
