a group of nine people won 1/5 of a 4500 prize how much money did each person in the group

Answer 1

To find out how much each person in the group received from the prize, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total amount of money that the group won: \[ \text{Total amount won} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \]

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

Thus, each person in the group received $100.
