Final answer:
To determine the number of prizes given out, we divide the total number of attendees, 610, by 25, since a prize is given to every 25th person, resulting in 24 prizes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the number of prizes given at the event, we simply need to divide the total number of people by the frequency at which prizes are given. In this case, every 25th person receives a prize, and there are a total of 610 attendees.
The formula to find out the number of prizes is:
- Total number of prizes = Total number of attendees / Position of attendee receiving a prize
Let's apply the numbers:
- Total number of prizes = 610 / 25
- Total number of prizes = 24 with a remainder
Thus, we can see that 24 prizes were given out since we ignore any remainder when considering every 25th person.
