Simon and Paul had some money at first. Simon received 2 times as much money as Paul every day. At the end of 4 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Paul had $1300 at first and Simon had $2340 at the end of those 4 days, what is the ratio of Simon's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2340 |
Amount that Paul received every day
= 2340 - 1300
= $1040
1 u = 1040
Amount that Simon received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 1040
= $2080
Amount that Simon had at first
= 2340 - 2080
= $260
Total amount that Simon and Paul had at first
= 1300 + 260
= $1560
Simon's amount : Total amount
260 : 1560
1 : 6
Answer(s): 1 : 6
