Asked by Sandy
Sammie and her 3 cousins split their winnings from bingo evenly. She paid $25 to get a ride home. If she had $475 when she got home, how much money did they win altogether?
First, I thought it was: 4x-25=475 and my answer was $125.00 BUT, the QUESTION is How much money did they win altogether, not how much is left.? Or Am I incorrect? thanks

You are correct in terms of calculating the amount each person initially received after splitting their winnings. Each person received $125 initially, but the question is asking for the total amount that they won altogether.
To find the total amount they won, you would need to multiply the initial amount by the number of people who split the winnings. In this case, there were 4 people (Sammie and her 3 cousins), so the total amount they won altogether would be:
$125 x 4 = $500
Therefore, they won a total of $500 altogether.
