Question

A raffle prize of 14x^2/15 dollars is to be divided among 7x people. Write an expression for the amount of money that each person will receive. Show work.

Answer 1

Answer:
`(2x)/(15)`

Explanation:

You know that the raffle prized (in dollars) is given by the following expression:

`(14x^2)/(15)`

Since it is to be divided among
`7x` people, you can write the following expression to represent the amount of money that each person will receive:

`(14x^2)/(15(7x))`

Finally, simplifying this expression, you get:

`=(7x(2x))/(15(7x))=(2x)/(15)`
