19 persons went to a hotel for a combined dinner party. 13 of them spent 79 each on their dinner and the rest spent 4 more than the average expenditure of all the 19. What was the total money (in Rs.) spent by them? Correct Answer None of these
Formula:
Average = sum of all observations/total number of all observations
Calculation:
Let the average expenditure of 19 people be x, then
According to the question
19x = 13 × 79 + 6 × (x + 4)
⇒ 19x = 13 × 79 + 6x + 24
⇒ x = 80.84
∴ Total money spent = 80.84 × 19 = Rs. 1536.07
