$1840 |
Amount that Glen received every month
= 1840 - 1360
= $480
1 u = 480
Amount that Albert received every month
= 2 u
= 2 x 480
= $960
Amount that Albert had at first
= 1840 - 960
= $880
Total amount that Albert and Glen had at first
= 1360 + 880
= $2240
Albert's amount : Total amount
880 : 2240
11 : 28
Answer(s): 11 : 28
