first interest,) which equaled of the first principal, which we readily find to be $500, which is the sum of of A's and of B's fortune. And, since A's fortune was to B's, as 1 to 3, we easily find that of B's fortune equals 4 times of A's. Consequently of $500 was of A's fortune, and of $500 was of B's. Therefore, A's fortune was $200, and B's $600.

THE END.
