Question

In the movie Maverick, Bret Maverick worked to raise enough money to enter a card championship. Twenty players entered the tournament, each one paying the same entrance fee. The entrance fee totaled $500,000. How much did each player pay to play?

Answer 1

500,000 divided by 20 equals 25,000

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

$25,000 per person.

Explanation:

There are 20 people playing that pay a total of $500,000. To find the amount paid per person, we will divide the total by the number of people:

500,000/20 = 25,000

Each person will pay $25,000.
