Daniel and Ethan had some money at first. Daniel received 2 times as much money as Ethan every fortnight. At the end of 2 fortnights, both of them had the same amount of money. If Ethan had $1320 at first and Daniel had $2340 at the end of those 2 fortnights, what is the ratio of Daniel's money to the total amount of money at first?

$2340 |
Amount that Ethan received every fortnight
= 2340 - 1320
= $1020
1 u = 1020
Amount that Daniel received every fortnight
= 2 u
= 2 x 1020
= $2040
Amount that Daniel had at first
= 2340 - 2040
= $300
Total amount that Daniel and Ethan had at first
= 1320 + 300
= $1620
Daniel's amount : Total amount
300 : 1620
5 : 27
Answer(s): 5 : 27
