Valen and David had some money at first. Valen received 2 times as much money as David every week. At the end of 6 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If David had $1260 at first and Valen had $2250 at the end of those 6 weeks, what is the ratio of Valen's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2250 |
$2250 |
Amount that David received every week
= 2250 - 1260
= $990
1 u = 990
Amount that Valen received every week
= 2 u
= 2 x 990
= $1980
Amount that Valen had at first
= 2250 - 1980
= $270
Total amount that Valen and David had at first
= 1260 + 270
= $1530
Valen's amount : Total amount
270 : 1530
3 : 17
Answer(s): 3 : 17
