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

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
