8 person went to a hotel for taking their meal. 7 of them spent ₹12 each on their meals and the 8th person spent ₹14 more then the average expenditure of all of them. What was the total money spent by all of them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Let the average expenditure = A
Total expenditure of 7 person = 12 × 7 = 84
Expenditure of 8th person = A + 14
Total expenditure of all person = 8 × A = 8A
ATQ,
84 + (A + 14) = 8A
A + 98 = 8A
7A = 98
A = 14
Total expenditure = 14 × 8 = Rs. 112
