Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money spent be x

Therefore average spending is x/9

Average of 8 persons is ₹12

Total spent by 8 persons is 12*8= ₹96

Therefore, Money spent by ninth is x-96

Given that

$x - 96= \frac{x}{9} + 8 \\ 9x - 864 = x + 72 \\ 8x = 936 \\ x = \frac{936}{8} = 117$
