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

A Telegram spokesman declined to comment on the bond issue or the amount of the debt the company has due. The spokesman said Telegram’s equipment and bandwidth costs are growing because it has consistently posted more than 40% year-to-year growth in users.
That growth environment will include rising inflation and interest rates. Those upward shifts naturally accompany healthy growth periods as the demand for resources, products and services rise. Importantly, the Federal Reserve has laid out the rationale for not interfering with that natural growth transition.It's not exactly a fad, but there is a widespread willingness to pay up for a growth story. Classic fundamental analysis takes a back seat. Even negative earnings are ignored. In fact, positive earnings seem to be a limiting measure, producing the question, "Is that all you've got?" The preference is a vision of untold riches when the exciting story plays out as expected.
