Most of the information's that are required for solving this question is already given in the question. It is important to check them minutely before trying to solve the problem in hand.

Amount of prize money won by the darts team = 1750 pounds

The amount of money that needs to be saved = 70 pounds

Then

Amount of money remaining after savings = (1750 - 70) pounds

= 1680 pounds

The number of team members in the darts team = 14

So

The amount of money

that each members of the darts team gets = 1680/14

= 70 pounds

From the above deduction we can easily conclude that each member of the darts teams will get an amount of 70 pounds.
