Asher and Oliver had some money at first. Asher received 2 times as much money as Oliver every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Oliver had $1170 at first and Asher had $1690 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Asher's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1690 |
Amount that Oliver received every day
= 1690 - 1170
= $520
1 u = 520
Amount that Asher received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 520
= $1040
Amount that Asher had at first
= 1690 - 1040
= $650
Total amount that Asher and Oliver had at first
= 1170 + 650
= $1820
Asher's amount : Total amount
650 : 1820
5 : 14
Answer(s): 5 : 14
