Alicia Alley won the Summer Championship bowling contest her share of the 22,500 in prize money was 3,650. How much did each of the 10 bowlers receive if the remaining money was divided evenly among the players?
22,500 - 3,650 = 18,850
18,850 / 10 = 1,885
Thank you
You are welcome.
To find out how much each of the 10 bowlers received, we need to subtract Alicia's share from the total prize money and then divide the remaining money evenly among the remaining players.
Given:
Total prize money = $22,500
Alicia's share = $3,650
To determine the remaining amount to be divided among the 10 bowlers, we subtract Alicia's share from the total prize money:
Remaining money = Total prize money - Alicia's share
Remaining money = $22,500 - $3,650
Remaining money = $18,850
Now, we can divide the remaining money evenly among the 10 bowlers to find out how much each of them received:
Amount each bowler received = Remaining money / Number of bowlers
Amount each bowler received = $18,850 / 10
Let's calculate that:
Amount each bowler received = $1,885
Therefore, each of the 10 bowlers received $1,885.
