Cole and Dylan had some money at first. Cole received 2 times as much money as Dylan every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money.

$2320 |
Amount that Dylan received every day
= 2320 - 1440
= $880
1 u = 880
Amount that Cole received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 880
= $1760
Amount that Cole had at first
= 2320 - 1760
= $560
Total amount that Cole and Dylan had at first
= 1440 + 560
= $2000
Cole's amount : Total amount
560 : 2000
7 : 25
Answer(s): 7 : 25
