Question 619476: three people put their money together to buy lottery tickets. first person put in $25, second person put in $30, and third person put in $35.00. Their ticket was a winner. They won 4.5 million. What was the first person"s share of the winning?

The total they put into the tickets was 25+30+35 = 90 dollars. The first person's percent of the total is then (25/90)*100 = 27.78% roughly.

So take 27.78 percent of 4.5 million to get your answer.
