a group of 9 people wan 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. how much money did each person in the group win?

Answer 1

To find out how much money each person in the group won, first calculate the total amount of the prize that the group receives:

1. Calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the $4,500 prize: \[ \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \]

2. Next, divide this amount by the number of people in the group (9): \[ \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
