A) Rs. 4680
B) Rs. 4420
C) Rs. 4960
D) Rs. 5480

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Rs. 4680  

Explanation:

Let the expenditure on the 95 students be 'x'

Then,

95x + 500 = 120(x – 5)

95x + 500 = 120x - 600

120x - 95x = 1100

25x = 1100

=> x = 44

Therefore, total expenditure of the hostel becomes

95 x 44 + 500 = 4680.
