Six persons went to a hotel for taking their meals. Five of them spent ₹ 32 each on their meals while the sixth person spent ₹ 80 more than the average expenditure of all the six. What was the total money spent by all the persons? (C.P.O., 2006)
Answer
No answer key was printed for this question.
Explanation
Let the average expenditure of all the six be ₹ $x$. Then, $32 \times 5+(x+80)=6 x \Rightarrow 240+x=6 x \Rightarrow 5 x=240 \Rightarrow x=48$. $$\text { ∴ Total money spent }=6 x=₹(6 \times 48)=₹ 288 .$$
