Ivan and Glen had some money at first. Ivan received 3 times as much money as Glen every day. At the end of 2 days, both of them had the same amount of money. If Glen had $1190 at first and Ivan had $1750 at the end of those 2 days, what is the ratio of Ivan's money to the total amount of money at first?

+ 3 u |

$1750 |
$1750 |
Amount that Glen received every day
= 1750 - 1190
= $560
1 u = 560
Amount that Ivan received every day
= 3 u
= 3 x 560
= $1680
Amount that Ivan had at first
= 1750 - 1680
= $70
Total amount that Ivan and Glen had at first
= 1190 + 70
= $1260
Ivan's amount : Total amount
70 : 1260
1 : 18
Answer(s): 1 : 18
