Final answer:

Grandma Faye decides to keep $90,000 for herself and share the remaining $90,000 equally with her 2 children, so each child will receive $45,000. The correct answer is option c. $45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money each of Grandma Faye's children will receive, we need to first calculate how much money she decides to keep for herself. Given that Grandma Faye wins $180,000 in the lottery and decides to keep half of it, we can calculate this by dividing $180,000 by 2:

$180,000 ÷ 2 = $90,000

So Grandma Faye decides to keep $90,000 for herself. Now we need to determine how much money she will share with her 2 children. The remaining amount is $180,000 - $90,000 = $<<90000=90000>>90,000

To find out how much each child will receive, we divide the remaining amount of $90,000 by the number of children, which is 2:

$90,000 ÷ 2 = $45,000

Therefore, each of Grandma Faye's children will receive $45,000.
