$1830 |
Amount that Dylan received every month
= 1830 - 1320
= $510
1 u = 510
Amount that Liam received every month
= 3 u
= 3 x 510
= $1530
Amount that Liam had at first
= 1830 - 1530
= $300
Total amount that Liam and Dylan had at first
= 1320 + 300
= $1620
Liam's amount : Total amount
300 : 1620
5 : 27
Answer(s): 5 : 27
