Owen and Valen had some money at first. Owen received 5 times as much money as Valen every month. At the end of 2 months, both of them had the same amount of money.

$1620 |
Amount that Valen received every month
= 1620 - 1380
= $240
1 u = 240
Amount that Owen received every month
= 5 u
= 5 x 240
= $1200
Amount that Owen had at first
= 1620 - 1200
= $420
Total amount that Owen and Valen had at first
= 1380 + 420
= $1800
Owen's amount : Total amount
420 : 1800
7 : 30
Answer(s): 7 : 30
