Jenson and Sean had some money at first. Jenson received 2 times as much money as Sean every day. At the end of 4 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Sean had $1300 at first and Jenson had $2300 at the end of those 4 days, what is the ratio of Jenson's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2300 |
Amount that Sean received every day
= 2300 - 1300
= $1000
1 u = 1000
Amount that Jenson received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 1000
= $2000
Amount that Jenson had at first
= 2300 - 2000
= $300
Total amount that Jenson and Sean had at first
= 1300 + 300
= $1600
Jenson's amount : Total amount
300 : 1600
3 : 16
Answer(s): 3 : 16
