Nine persons went to a hotel for taking their meals. Eight of them spent Rs. 12 each on their meals and the ninth spent Rs. 8 more than the average expenditure of all the nine. What was the total money spent by them.

a) Rs. 115
b) Rs. 116
c) Rs. 117
d) Rs. 118

Answer: c
Explanation: Let the average expenditure of all the nine be x
12 × 8 + (x + 8) = 9x
x = 13
Total money spent = 9x
