Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives n dollars from Bob, then she will have 8 times as much money as Bob. If, on the other hand, she gives n dollars to Bob, then she will have 2 times as much money as Bob. If neither gives the other any money, what is the ratio of the amount of money Alice has to the amount Bob has?

A=Alice,  B=Bob

 

(A + n)=8*(B - n) 

(A - n)=2*(B + n), solve for A, B

 

A=7n

B=2n, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,..........and so on.

 

A / B =7n / 2n

A : B ==7 : 2 - original ratio of Alice's money to Bob's money.
