Flynn and George had some money at first. Flynn received 3 times as much money as George every month. At the end of 6 months, both of them had the same amount of money. If George had $1500 at first and Flynn had $2220 at the end of those 6 months, what is the ratio of Flynn's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2220 |
Amount that George received every month
= 2220 - 1500
= $720
1 u = 720
Amount that Flynn received every month
= 3 u
= 3 x 720
= $2160
Amount that Flynn had at first
= 2220 - 2160
= $60
Total amount that Flynn and George had at first
= 1500 + 60
= $1560
Flynn's amount : Total amount
60 : 1560
1 : 26
Answer(s): 1 : 26
