Asher and Owen had some money at first. Asher received 2 times as much money as Owen every week. At the end of 2 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Owen had $1320 at first and Asher had $1870 at the end of those 2 weeks, what is the ratio of Asher's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1870 |
Amount that Owen received every week
= 1870 - 1320
= $550
1 u = 550
Amount that Asher received every week
= 2 u
= 2 x 550
= $1100
Amount that Asher had at first
= 1870 - 1100
= $770
Total amount that Asher and Owen had at first
= 1320 + 770
= $2090
Asher's amount : Total amount
770 : 2090
7 : 19
Answer(s): 7 : 19
