Nine persons went to a hotel for taking their meals. Eight of them spent 11 each on their meals and the ninth spend 8 more than the average expenditure of all the nine. What was the total money spent by them?
Options:
A) 108  B) 117  C) 119  D) 122  E) None of the above
Let the average expenditure of all the nine be x.   Then, 11 × 8 + (x + 8) = 9x or 8x = 96 or x = 12.   ∴ Total money spent = 9x = (9 × 12) = 108.   108nswer 108
