Simon and Cole had some money at first. Simon received 4 times as much money as Cole every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1770 |
$1770 |
Amount that Cole received every day
= 1770 - 1350
= $420
1 u = 420
Amount that Simon received every day
= 4 u
= 4 x 420
= $1680
Amount that Simon had at first
= 1770 - 1680
= $90
Total amount that Simon and Cole had at first
= 1350 + 90
= $1440
Simon's amount : Total amount
90 : 1440
1 : 16
Answer(s): 1 : 16
