Nine persons went to a hotel to have a meal. Eight of them spent 12 rupees each and the ninth person spent 8 rupees more than the average expenditure of all of them. What was the total money spent by them?
Let the ninth person’s expenditure be Rs. [math]x[/math].Now, the average expenditure = [math]\dfrac{(8*12) + x}{9} [/math]But, now, its given that[math]x = average + 8[/math][math]=> x = \dfrac{8*12 + x}{9} + 8 [/math][math]=> x = \dfrac{96 + x}{9} + \dfrac{72}{9} [/math][math]=> x = \dfrac{96+x+72}{9} [/math][math]=> x = \dfrac{168}{9} + \dfrac{x}{9} [/math][math]=> x - \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{168}{9} [/math][math]=> \dfrac{8x}{9} = \dfrac{168}{9} [/math][math]=> 8x = 168[/math][math]=> x = 21[/math][math]=> total[/math] [math]money = 8*12 + 21 = 117[/math] (that’s your answer)
This question is for Gilmore Girls lovers!!?
All of my friends have told me that I missed a lot of GilmoreGilrls. I am a huge fan of it. I watch it everyday at 10:00 in the morning. But, I left off where Sookie just got married, Jess came back from Washington to see Rory and they kissed at Sookie's wedding, and Lorelai has this dream of being married to Luke and being pregnant. If you need additional details e-mail me at hersheyscat@yahoo.com. But, please tell me what I missed and what channel I can start seeing the new episodes on!!!
Is the Stanley Hotel in Colorado really Haunted?
I'm actually going there in a few weeks for a "Ghost Hunting" weekend. I am going to meet the guys from TAPS and some other celebrity ghost hunters. We're staying at the hotel, so I'll have to let you know if anything happens while we're there!
