Mini Exam 18 Problem

In this question, the solution was 201, but can someone explain why the answer cannot be 109? If you’re trying to find the lowest amount Bob can receive, while the others all get a whole # above $75 - then Bob gets $109, and everyone else gets $99

109+ (99*9) = 109+891 = 1000

there must be something I’m just not realising. thanks!

Suppose Bob gets $109. What stops another person from getting $110?

Ah yes! thank you, I was thinking everyone else’s amount would have to be equal
