Given:

Group A: 89 members, Average amount = ₹385

Group B: 59 members, Average amount = ₹277

Group C: 75 members, Average amount = ₹131

Formula used:

Total average = (Total amount spent by all groups) / (Total members)

Calculation:

Total amount by A = 89 × 385 = ₹34265

Total amount by B = 59 × 277 = ₹16343

Total amount by C = 75 × 131 = ₹9825

Total amount spent = 34265 + 16343 + 9825 = ₹60433

Total members = 89 + 59 + 75 = 223

Total average amount = 60433 / 223 ≈ ₹271

∴ Total average amount spent per member = ₹271
