Asher and Valen had some money at first. Asher received 2 times as much money as Valen every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Valen had $1360 at first and Asher had $2040 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Asher's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2040 |
Amount that Valen received every day
= 2040 - 1360
= $680
1 u = 680
Amount that Asher received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 680
= $1360
Amount that Asher had at first
= 2040 - 1360
= $680
Total amount that Asher and Valen had at first
= 1360 + 680
= $2040
Asher's amount : Total amount
680 : 2040
1 : 3
Answer(s): 1 : 3
