Divide $500.90 Among 100 People: Equal Distribution Problem

$500.9 is distributed equally among 100 people.

How much does each person receive?

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given information
• Step 2: Apply the appropriate formula
• Step 3: Perform the necessary calculations

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We have a total amount of 500.9 to be distributed among 100 people.
Step 2: To find out how much each person receives, we need to divide the total amount by the number of people: \( 500.9 \div 100 .
Step 3: Perform the division:
To divide $500.9$ by $100$, we can move the decimal point in $500.9$ two places to the left (because 100 has two zeros). This means $500.9 \rightarrow 5.009$.

Therefore, each person receives \5.009 \).
