Question

Bruce, Cathy and Dilip paid $7, $10 and $8

respectively for a lotto ticket. The ticket won
a prize of $600. Calculate Bruce's share of
the winnings.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Add the total of Bruce, Cathy and Dilip

=> 7 + 10 + 15

=> 25

Then, Divide it by 600

=> 600 ÷ 25

=> 24

To find how much Bruce's share

we multiply 24 times the $10 he contributed

=> 24 × 10

=> 240

Therefore, Bruce's share would be $240
