Valen and Oliver had some money at first. Valen received 3 times as much money as Oliver every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Oliver had $1400 at first and Valen had $1890 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Valen's money to the total amount of money at first?

$1890 |
$1890 |
Amount that Oliver received every day
= 1890 - 1400
= $490
1 u = 490
Amount that Valen received every day
= 3 u
= 3 x 490
= $1470
Amount that Valen had at first
= 1890 - 1470
= $420
Total amount that Valen and Oliver had at first
= 1400 + 420
= $1820
Valen's amount : Total amount
420 : 1820
3 : 13
Answer(s): 3 : 13
