Answer to Q124

Nine men went to a restaurant. Eight of them spent $6 each for their meals and the ninth man spent $4 more than the average expenditure of all nine men. What is the average expenditure?

Average simply is the sum of a set of data divided by the quantity of the data.

We know what 8 men spent which is $6 each
Let what the ninth man spent be = Y
Let the average of what the nine men spent be = Z

the ninth man spent $4 more than the average expenditure of all nine men

So, Y = Z + 4 (eqn 1)

average of what all nine men spent will then be
((6 x 8) + Y) ÷ 9 = Z
(48 + Y) ÷ 9 = Z

Multiply all through by 9
48 + Y = 9Z (eqn 2)

Put eqn 1 into eqn 2
48 + Z + 4 = 9Z
52 + Z = 9Z
52 = 9Z - Z
52 = 8Z
Z = 52 ÷ 8
Z = 6.5

So, average of the expenditure is $6.5

Answer: $6.5

Can I mute a Telegram group?

In recent times, Telegram has gained a lot of popularity because of the controversy over WhatsApp’s new privacy policy. In January 2021, Telegram was the most downloaded app worldwide and crossed 500 million monthly active users. And with so many active users on the app, people might get messages in bulk from a group or a channel that can be a little irritating. So to get rid of the same, you can mute groups, chats, and channels on Telegram just like WhatsApp. You can mute notifications for one hour, eight hours, or two days, or you can disable notifications forever.

What is Telegram?

Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service that has been making rounds as a popular option for those who wish to keep their messages secure. Telegram boasts a collection of different features, but it’s best known for its ability to secure messages and media by encrypting them during transit; this prevents third-parties from snooping on messages easily. Let’s take a look at what Telegram can do and why you might want to use it.
