Sean and Will had some money at first. Sean received 5 times as much money as Will every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1800 |
Amount that Will received every day
= 1800 - 1450
= $350
1 u = 350
Amount that Sean received every day
= 5 u
= 5 x 350
= $1750
Amount that Sean had at first
= 1800 - 1750
= $50
Total amount that Sean and Will had at first
= 1450 + 50
= $1500
Sean's amount : Total amount
50 : 1500
1 : 30
Answer(s): 1 : 30
