Justin and Warren had some money at first. Justin received 2 times as much money as Warren every month. At the end of 2 months, both of them had the same amount of money. If Warren had $1500 at first and Justin had $2000 at the end of those 2 months, what is the ratio of Justin's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2000 |
Amount that Warren received every month
= 2000 - 1500
= $500
1 u = 500
Amount that Justin received every month
= 2 u
= 2 x 500
= $1000
Amount that Justin had at first
= 2000 - 1000
= $1000
Total amount that Justin and Warren had at first
= 1500 + 1000
= $2500
Justin's amount : Total amount
1000 : 2500
2 : 5
Answer(s): 2 : 5
