Explanation:

1.

Step1: Divide total prize by number of people

To find out how much each person gets when a total prize of $1350$ is divided among $x$ people, we use division. The amount per - person is the total amount divided by the number of people.
The expression is $\frac{1350}{x}$.

Step1: Find half of the goal amount

The goal is to raise $T$ dollars. Half of the goal amount is $\frac{T}{2}$. The given expression $T + 50$ does not represent half of the goal. So, there is no match for the description "The dollar amount the club would have if they reached half of their goal" among the provided expressions.

Answer:

A. $\frac{1350}{x}$
