A group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. How much money did each person in the group win?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how much each person in the group won, first calculate how much money they won in total.

The total prize amount is $4,500, and they won 1/5 of this amount:

\[ \text{Total winnings} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = \frac{4500}{5} = 900 \]

Now, divide this total winnings by the number of people in the group (9) to find out how much each person won:

\[ \text{Winnings per person} = \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
