Vedclass · Answer

Suppose, the average expenditure was $Rs.\, x$

Then, total expenditure $=35 x$

When $7$ more students join the mess, total expenditure $=35 x+42$

Now, the average expenditure

$=\frac{35 x+42}{35+7}=\frac{35 x+42}{42}$

Now, we have $\frac{35 x+42}{42}=x-1$

$	herefore \quad x=12$

Thus, the actual expenditure of the mass $=35 	imes 12=2420$

There were $35$ students in a hostel. If the number of students increases by $7 ,$ the expenses of the mess increase by $Rs.\,42$ per $day$ while the average expenditure per head diminishes by $Rs.\,1$ Find the actual expenditure of the mess. (in $Rs.$)
