Xavier and Dylan had some money at first. Xavier received 4 times as much money as Dylan every week. At the end of 4 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1740 |
Amount that Dylan received every week
= 1740 - 1380
= $360
1 u = 360
Amount that Xavier received every week
= 4 u
= 4 x 360
= $1440
Amount that Xavier had at first
= 1740 - 1440
= $300
Total amount that Xavier and Dylan had at first
= 1380 + 300
= $1680
Xavier's amount : Total amount
300 : 1680
5 : 28
Answer(s): 5 : 28
