Practicing Success
The average weight of some students in a class was 60.5 kg. When 8 students, whose average weight was 65 kg, joined the class, then the average weight of all the students increased by 0.9 kg. The number of students in the class,initially, was: |
32 37 42 40 |
32 |
Lets assume earlier total number of student = x Sum of weights of student = 60.5x Now total number of student = x + 8 Total weight increased = 8 x 65 = 520 As per question (X + 8) x (60.5 + .9) = 60.5x +520 x= 32 So initial no. of student = 32 So, initial total number of student were 46 |
