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 Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last five trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had added more than a dozen points or 0.4 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just above the 3,060-point plateau and it's likely to see a narrow trading range on Monday.
Telegram Auto-Delete Messages in Any Chat
Some messages aren’t supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where it’s best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Here’s how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This won’t affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
