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)

Question

$___

Answer 1

To calculate how much money each person in the group won, we first need to determine the total amount of the prize that they won.

1. Calculate 1/5 of the $4,500 prize: \[ \text{Total amount won} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \]

2. Next, we divide the total amount won by the number of people in the group (9 people): \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
