1. Find the fraction of money Tim had left

Fraction left = 1−13=231 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}

2. Calculate Tim's initial amount of money

23\frac{2}{3} of Tim's money = $3400\char36{}3400
Tim's initial money = $3400÷2×3=$5100\char36{}3400 \div 2 \times 3 = \char36{}5100

3. Calculate Jenny's initial amount of money

Jenny's initial money = $5100−$1200=$3900\char36{}5100 - \char36{}1200 = \char36{}3900

Answer

$3900
