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;

[tex] \frac {5}{11} * P = 160 [/tex]

[tex] \frac {5P}{11} = 160 [/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex] 5P = 160 * 11 [/tex]

[tex] 5P = 1760 [/tex]

[tex] P = \frac {1760}{5} [/tex]

Prize, P = $352
