We make a theoretical prediction for the ratio of the dark energy to other components in the Universe based on the scenario of the sequestering mechanism [1–3] which was recently proposed as one possible way to solve the cosmological constant problem. In order to evaluate the value of dark energy and the others, we assume a specific scale factor which describes the big-crunch scenario in the scalar-tensor theory. We specify the parameter region where the one can explain the observed dark energy-matter ratio.
