A group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. How much money did each person in the group win?
1/5 of $4,500 is (1/5)*$4,500 = $<<(1/5)*4500=900>>900
Each person in the group won $900. Answer: \boxed{900}.
no
Apologies for the previous response. Let's try again.
If a group of 9 people won 1/5 of the $4,500 prize, we can find each person's share by dividing the total prize by the number of people.
1/5 of $4,500 is given by (1/5) * $4,500 = $900
To find each person's share, we divide $900 among 9 people:
$900 / 9 = $<<900/9=100>>100
Therefore, each person in the group won $100. Answer: \boxed{100}.
To find out how much money each person in the group won, you need to divide the total prize money by the number of people in the group.
First, let's calculate the portion of the prize that the group won. The group won 1/5 of the $4,500 prize. To do this, we can multiply the fraction 1/5 by the total prize:
1/5 * $4,500 = $900
So the group won $900 of the prize money.
Next, we need to find out how much money each person in the group won. We do this by dividing the total prize won by the number of people in the group:
$900 / 9 = $100
Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
