Howard and Ahmad had some money at first. Howard received 2 times as much money as Ahmad every fortnight. At the end of 4 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Ahmad had $1330 at first and Howard had $2090 at the end of those 4 fortnights, what is the ratio of Howard's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2090 |
Amount that Ahmad received every fortnight
= 2090 - 1330
= $760
1 u = 760
Amount that Howard received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 760
= $1520
Amount that Howard had at first
= 2090 - 1520
= $570
Total amount that Howard and Ahmad had at first
= 1330 + 570
= $1900
Howard's amount : Total amount
570 : 1900
3 : 10
Answer(s): 3 : 10
