Valen and Peter had some money at first. Valen received 2 times as much money as Peter every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Peter had $1320 at first and Valen had $2280 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Valen's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2280 |
Amount that Peter received every day
= 2280 - 1320
= $960
1 u = 960
Amount that Valen received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 960
= $1920
Amount that Valen had at first
= 2280 - 1920
= $360
Total amount that Valen and Peter had at first
= 1320 + 360
= $1680
Valen's amount : Total amount
360 : 1680
3 : 14
Answer(s): 3 : 14
