The prize fund for a charity draw is $150.
The total amount is shared between first, second and third place in the ratio 9: 4: 2
Work out how much the first place winner receives.
Let the ratio of charity draw 9:4:2 be 9x,4x and 2x respectively. Now, 9x+4x+2x=$150 or,15x=$150 or,x=10 So the value of x=10, and The first place winner receives the amount 9*10=$90.
