A prize of $600 is to be distributed among 15 winners, each of whom must be awarded at least $15. If 2/5 of the prize will be distributed to 3/5 of the winners, what is the greatest possible individual award?	Choose the correct choice:	A) $200	B) $220	C) $285	D) $300	E) $360
Total value of the prize =$600   Number of people = 15   2/5 of 600 (=$240) should be distributed among 3/5 of 15 (=9 people ) with each getting $15 each. Remaining money = 600-240=

<output>360</output>
$360. Now in order to 'maximize' 1 prize, we need to minimise the others and we have been given that each should get $15. Thus, minimising the remaining 5 people (=15-9-1. '-1' to exclude 1 that needs to be maximised) = 5*15=

<output>75</output>
75.   Thus the maximum award can be= 360-75=

<output>285</output>
$285, hence $285 is the correct answer.
