Six persons went to a hotel to have their meals. Five of them spent Rs. 30 each on their meals. The sixth person spent Rs. 50 more than the average expenditure of all the six. What was the total money spent by all the persons?
Given:
5 persons spent ₹30 each
6th person spent ₹50 more than the average expenditure of all 6 persons
Formula Used:
Solution:
Let the average expenditure be x.
Then total expenditure = 6x, and the 6th person spent x + 50.
Also, total of the first 5 = 5 × 30 = ₹150
Total Expenditure = 150 + (x + 50)
6x = 200+ x
5x = 200
x = 40
Total expenditure = 6x = 6 × 40 = ₹ 240
