The City of Altropolis is preparing for an upcoming marathon that will run throughout the city. The first four runs will be awarded cash prizes. First place will win the most and each
place after will win $100 less than the previous place.

four runners
Part B: The committee has raised enough money to award a total of $500 to only the first
three winners. What amount will each of the three winners win? Justify your answer.
