Daniel and Fred had some money at first. Daniel received 2 times as much money as Fred every day. At the end of 4 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Fred had $1020 at first and Daniel had $1700 at the end of those 4 days, what is the ratio of Daniel's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1700 |
$1700 |
Amount that Fred received every day
= 1700 - 1020
= $680
1 u = 680
Amount that Daniel received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 680
= $1360
Amount that Daniel had at first
= 1700 - 1360
= $340
Total amount that Daniel and Fred had at first
= 1020 + 340
= $1360
Daniel's amount : Total amount
340 : 1360
1 : 4
Answer(s): 1 : 4
