The solution is completely correct, as putting 5 or 0 in the formula again will make it true.
Let's assume
people were in the original group of winners as x
A group of winning ticket holders share equally 90,000,000 lottery
Before the money is divided, three more winning ticket holders are declared
so, total number of winning tickes =x+3
each persons share is reduced to 5,000,000
so, total money =5,000,000*(x+3)
and this must be equal to total money
now, we can solve for x
and we get
Subtrac both sides by 3
so,
number of people were in the original group of winners is 15 ...........Answer
