Three people put their money together to buy lottery tickets.
The first person put in $20, the second person put in $27, and the third person put in $43.
One of the tickets was a winning ticket.
If the winning ticket paid $4.5 million, what was the first person's share of the winnings?
:
divide the winnings into 20+27+43 = 90 parts
:
= 50000
1st person share
20 * 50000 = $1,000,000
