Question 258492: 1/6 of a sum of prize money was divided equally amoung 4 individual players. The remainder was divided amoung 10 group players. If each group player received $75, how much money did each individual player receive? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let p=total prize money.
5p/6 * 1/10 = 75
5p/60=75
p/12=75
p=900
900* 1/6=150
150/4=$37.50
