Mark and Flynn had some money at first. Mark received 2 times as much money as Flynn every week. At the end of 6 weeks, both of them had the same amount of money. If Flynn had $1020 at first and Mark had $1740 at the end of those 6 weeks, what is the ratio of Mark's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1740 |
Amount that Flynn received every week
= 1740 - 1020
= $720
1 u = 720
Amount that Mark received every week
= 2 u
= 2 x 720
= $1440
Amount that Mark had at first
= 1740 - 1440
= $300
Total amount that Mark and Flynn had at first
= 1020 + 300
= $1320
Mark's amount : Total amount
300 : 1320
5 : 22
Answer(s): 5 : 22
