Question

Jeff and his friends win a prize.

Answer 1

Answer:

Prize, P = $352

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let Jeff's share be J.
• Let the value of the prize be P.

Given the following data;

• J = $160
• J = 5P/11

To find the value of the prize;

$\frac {5}{11} * P = 160$

$\frac {5P}{11} = 160$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$5P = 160 * 11$

$5P = 1760$

$P = \frac {1760}{5}$

Prize, P = $352
