Answer 2

Answer:

800

Let us take x as the total expense of mess initially and y as the average expense

Then,

Initially, x/40=y

x=40y

After 5 more were added the total expense increased by 55,ie, x+55 and average expanse was decreased by 1, ie, y-1

Therefore the conditions are

(x+55)/45=y-1

x+55=45y-45

40y+55=45y-45

5y=100

y=20

Hence, the total initial expense was 40y=800
