Neave and Eric had some money at first. Neave received 2 times as much money as Eric every day. At the end of 4 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Eric had $1080 at first and Neave had $2040 at the end of those 4 days, what is the ratio of Neave's money to the total amount of money at first?

+ 2 u |
+ 1 u |

$2040 |
$2040 |
Amount that Eric received every day
= 2040 - 1080
= $960
1 u = 960
Amount that Neave received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 960
= $1920
Amount that Neave had at first
= 2040 - 1920
= $120
Total amount that Neave and Eric had at first
= 1080 + 120
= $1200
Neave's amount : Total amount
120 : 1200
1 : 10
Answer(s): 1 : 10
