A mother wins a prize in a lottery and deciedes to share all the money between her children in the following way:
the first child recieves £100 and one tenth of what remains,
the second child recieves £200 and one tenth of what remains,
the third child recieves £300 and one tenth of what remains
the fourth child recieves £400 and one tenth of the remainder,
and so on.
after distributing her prize in this way she is not too surprised that all her children recieved the same amount. how much money did they each recieveand how many children does she have?
