When student weighing 45 kgs left a class, the average weight of the remaining 59 students increased by 200g. What is the average weight of the remaining 59 students?
- 60
- 59
- 57
- 50
Explanation
Since the student who left weighed 45 kgs, the total weight of all 60 students (including the student who left) is 59x + 45.
When the student left, the average weight of the remaining 59 students increased by 200g (or 0.2 kgs), so we can set up the equation:
59x + 45 = 60(x - 0.2)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
59x + 45 = 60x - 12
Solving for x, we get:
x = 57
So, the correct answer is: 57
