Zane and Andy had some money at first. Zane received 4 times as much money as Andy every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Andy had $1250 at first and Zane had $1650 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Zane's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1650 |
$1650 |
Amount that Andy received every day
= 1650 - 1250
= $400
1 u = 400
Amount that Zane received every day
= 4 u
= 4 x 400
= $1600
Amount that Zane had at first
= 1650 - 1600
= $50
Total amount that Zane and Andy had at first
= 1250 + 50
= $1300
Zane's amount : Total amount
50 : 1300
1 : 26
Answer(s): 1 : 26
