A group of 9 people won 1/5

Question

of a $4,500 prize. How much money did each person in the group win?(1 point)
$

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the total amount won by the group:

\[ \text{Total amount won by the group} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \]

Next, we divide this amount by the number of people in the group (9) to find out how much each person won:

\[ \text{Amount won by each person} = \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
