Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money spent by 8 persons = 8 × 12 = Rs. 96
Let money spent by the 9th person = x
=> Total money spent by all the 9 persons = 96 + x
=> Average expenditure of all the 9 persons = 96 + x /9
Given,
x = 96 + x /9 + 8
⇒ 9 x = 96 + x + 72
⇒ 8 x = 168
⇒ x = 21
Total money spent by them = 96 + x = 96 + 21 = 117

Answer:
1360
Step-by-step explanation:
15 men paid Rs.80 each = 15*80 = 1200
total = x
16th man would have paid = x-1200
that is = 75+(x/16)
((x/16)=average)
equating these two
x-1200 = 75+(x/16)
x-(x/16)= 1275
15/16x = 1275
x = 1275*16/15
x = 1360
