Question

Suppose 3 people pooled their money. How much money did each winner receive? Responses A $120$120 B $140$140 C $160$160 D $480

Answer 1

To determine how much money each winner received, we need more context about the total amount pooled and how many winners there are. However, if we assume that all of the pooled money was divided equally among three winners, and assuming the total amount of pooled money was one of the options listed ($120, $140, $160, or $480), we can calculate how much each winner would receive.

1. **If the total pooled money is $120**:
- Each winner receives \( \frac{120}{3} = 40 \).

2. **If the total pooled money is $140**:
- Each winner receives \( \frac{140}{3} \approx 46.67 \).

3. **If the total pooled money is $160**:
- Each winner receives \( \frac{160}{3} \approx 53.33 \).

4. **If the total pooled money is $480**:
- Each winner receives \( \frac{480}{3} = 160 \).

From this breakdown, it appears that if the total pooled money is $480, then each winner would receive $160, which corresponds with option C.

Therefore, if the total pooled money is indeed $480, then **each winner received $160**.
