Sean and Zane had some money at first. Sean received 3 times as much money as Zane every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1800 |
Amount that Zane received every week
= 1800 - 1360
= $440
1 u = 440
Amount that Sean received every week
= 3 u
= 3 x 440
= $1320
Amount that Sean had at first
= 1800 - 1320
= $480
Total amount that Sean and Zane had at first
= 1360 + 480
= $1840
Sean's amount : Total amount
480 : 1840
6 : 23
Answer(s): 6 : 23
