Question: 94
10. The winner of a race received 
of the total purse. The third-place finisher received one third of the winner's share. If the winner's share was $2700, what was the total purse
- A. $8,100
- B. $2,700
- C. $1,800
- D. $900
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is (A). You have to read only the first and third sentences of the problem. The information in the second sentence contains information not relevant to the problem. The winner received 
of the total, or $2700. Thus, the total purse was $2700 × 3 = $8100.
