Question 181

The average weight of 21 girls was recorded as 58 kgs. If the teacher’s weight was added, the average increased by one. What was the teacher’s weight ?

Solution

The average weight of 21 girls was recorded as 58 kgs

Hence sum of the weight of the girls = $$ 21\times 58$$

If the teacher’s weight was added, the average increased by one.

Hence sum of the weight of the girls and the teacher = $$ 22\times 59$$

Hence weight of the teacher =( $$ 22\times 59$$) - ($$ 21\times 58$$) = 80kg
