Henry and Andy had some money at first. Henry received 2 times as much money as Andy every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Andy had $1080 at first and Henry had $1800 at the end of those 2 weeks, what is the ratio of Henry's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1800 |
Amount that Andy received every week
= 1800 - 1080
= $720
1 u = 720
Amount that Henry received every week
= 2 u
= 2 x 720
= $1440
Amount that Henry had at first
= 1800 - 1440
= $360
Total amount that Henry and Andy had at first
= 1080 + 360
= $1440
Henry's amount : Total amount
360 : 1440
1 : 4
Answer(s): 1 : 4
