Luis and Will had some money at first. Luis received 2 times as much money as Will every day. At the end of 6 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Will had $1170 at first and Luis had $2070 at the end of those 6 days, what is the ratio of Luis's money to the total amount of money at first?

+ 2 u |
+ 1 u |

$2070 |
$2070 |
Amount that Will received every day
= 2070 - 1170
= $900
1 u = 900
Amount that Luis received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 900
= $1800
Amount that Luis had at first
= 2070 - 1800
= $270
Total amount that Luis and Will had at first
= 1170 + 270
= $1440
Luis's amount : Total amount
270 : 1440
3 : 16
Answer(s): 3 : 16
