Lee and Bryan had some money at first. Lee received 2 times as much money as Bryan every day. At the end of 6 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Bryan had $1020 at first and Lee had $1620 at the end of those 6 days, what is the ratio of Lee's money to the total amount of money at first?

+ 2 u |
+ 1 u |
| After |
$1620 |
$1620 |
Amount that Bryan received every day
= 1620 - 1020
= $600
1 u = 600
Amount that Lee received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 600
= $1200
Amount that Lee had at first
= 1620 - 1200
= $420
Total amount that Lee and Bryan had at first
= 1020 + 420
= $1440
Lee's amount : Total amount
420 : 1440
7 : 24
Answer(s): 7 : 24
