Question

Three friends went to a restaurant for dinner. Two of them spent ₹500 each while the third one spent ₹50 more than the average amount spent by the other two. What was the total money spent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 1,550

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the friends spent Rs. 500 each. This means that the average money spent is $\frac{500 + 500}{2}$, which is Rs. 500 only.

The third friend spent Rs. 50 more then the average amount spent by the other two, which is Rs. 500. This means the third friend spent Rs. 500 + Rs. 50, which is Rs. 550.

Thus, the total money spent is Rs. 500 + Rs. 500 + Rs. 550, which equals to Rs. 1,550
