Daniel and David had some money at first. Daniel received 2 times as much money as David every fortnight. At the end of 6 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If David had $1150 at first and Daniel had $2200 at the end of those 6 fortnights, what is the ratio of Daniel's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2200 |
Amount that David received every fortnight
= 2200 - 1150
= $1050
1 u = 1050
Amount that Daniel received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 1050
= $2100
Amount that Daniel had at first
= 2200 - 2100
= $100
Total amount that Daniel and David had at first
= 1150 + 100
= $1250
Daniel's amount : Total amount
100 : 1250
2 : 25
Answer(s): 2 : 25
