Caden and Fred had some money at first. Caden received 2 times as much money as Fred every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Fred had $1080 at first and Caden had $2070 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Caden's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2070 |
Amount that Fred received every day
= 2070 - 1080
= $990
1 u = 990
Amount that Caden received every day
= 2 u
= 2 x 990
= $1980
Amount that Caden had at first
= 2070 - 1980
= $90
Total amount that Caden and Fred had at first
= 1080 + 90
= $1170
Caden's amount : Total amount
90 : 1170
1 : 13
Answer(s): 1 : 13
