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

To calculate how much each person in the group won, follow these steps:

1. Find the total amount won by the group:
   The group won \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a $4,500 prize.
   \[ \text{Total amount won} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \]

2. Divide the total amount by the number of people in the group:
   There are 9 people in the group.
   \[ \text{Amount each person won} = \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

So, each person in the group won $100.
