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

$2130 |
Amount that Flynn received every week
= 2130 - 1500
= $630
1 u = 630
Amount that Paul received every week
= 3 u
= 3 x 630
= $1890
Amount that Paul had at first
= 2130 - 1890
= $240
Total amount that Paul and Flynn had at first
= 1500 + 240
= $1740
Paul's amount : Total amount
240 : 1740
4 : 29
Answer(s): 4 : 29
