Explanation:
To find out how much money they won altogether, first calculate the total amount of money Sammie had before she paid for the ride home.
475 (money after ride) + 25 (cost of ride) = 500
Since they split their winnings evenly, each person received 1/4 of the total amount of money.
Therefore, 500 (total amount) / 4 (number of people) = 125
And since Sammie is one of the 4 cousins, to find out how much money they won altogether, you would multiply 125 (each person's share) by 4 (total number of people):
125 x 4 = $500
Therefore, they won a total of $500 altogether.
