Zeph and Neave had some money at first. Zeph received 5 times as much money as Neave every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Neave had $1440 at first and Zeph had $1600 at the end of those 2 weeks, what is the ratio of Zeph's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1600 |
Amount that Neave received every week
= 1600 - 1440
= $160
1 u = 160
Amount that Zeph received every week
= 5 u
= 5 x 160
= $800
Amount that Zeph had at first
= 1600 - 800
= $800
Total amount that Zeph and Neave had at first
= 1440 + 800
= $2240
Zeph's amount : Total amount
800 : 2240
5 : 14
Answer(s): 5 : 14
