Gabriel and Bryan had some money at first. Gabriel received 4 times as much money as Bryan every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1830 |
Amount that Bryan received every day
= 1830 - 1440
= $390
1 u = 390
Amount that Gabriel received every day
= 4 u
= 4 x 390
= $1560
Amount that Gabriel had at first
= 1830 - 1560
= $270
Total amount that Gabriel and Bryan had at first
= 1440 + 270
= $1710
Gabriel's amount : Total amount
270 : 1710
3 : 19
Answer(s): 3 : 19
