This Question has 1 answers.
We know that, Average weight = (Sum of weight of all students)/(Total no. of students)
Initially, total number of students = 20, and Average weight = 25 Kg
∴ Sum of weight of all students initially = 20 × 25
= 500 Kg
Let the weight of new student be X Kg. Then,
⇒ New sum of weight of all students = (500 + X) Kg
Given: Average weight after entry of new student = 24.8 Kg
$(\therefore 24.8 = \frac{{500 + X}}{{20 + 1}})$
⇒ X = 20.8 kgSimilar Questions
