Ethan and Flynn had some money at first. Ethan received 2 times as much money as Flynn every day. At the end of 6 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Flynn had $1320 at first and Ethan had $1980 at the end of those 6 days, what is the ratio of Ethan's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1980 |
Amount that Flynn received every day
= 1980 - 1320
= $660
1 u = 660
Amount that Ethan received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 660
= $1320
Amount that Ethan had at first
= 1980 - 1320
= $660
Total amount that Ethan and Flynn had at first
= 1320 + 660
= $1980
Ethan's amount : Total amount
660 : 1980
1 : 3
Answer(s): 1 : 3
