The average weight of 60 students in a class is 56.4 kg. If 12 students having average weight 59.5 kg leave and 15 students having average weight 54 kg join the class, then what is the average weight (in kg) of the students in the class (correct to one decimal place)?
The average weight of 60 students in a class is 56.4 kg. If 12 students having average weight 59.5 kg leave and 15 students having average weight 54 kg join the class, then what is the average weight (in kg) of the students in the class (correct to one decimal place)? Correct Answer 55.2
Average weight of 60 students = 56.4
Hence, sum of weight of 60 students = 56.4 × 60 = 3384
Average weight of 12 students = 59.5
Hence, sum weight of 12 students = 59.5 × 12 = 714
Average weight of 15 students = 54 kg
Hence, sum weight of 15 students 54 × 15 = 810
According to the question, 12 students leave and 15 students join so that final step:
Total sum of weight of all students 63 students = 3384 – 714 + 810 = 3480
∴ Average weight of all 63 students = 3480/63 = 55.238 ≈ 55.2
