There are 50 students in a class, of which 40 are boys. The average weight of the class is 44 kg an that of the girls is 40 kg. Find the average weight of the boys.
Total students in the class = 50
Number of boys = 40
∴ Number of girls = (50
Average weight of students in the class = 44 kg
Average weight of girls in the class = 40 kg
Sum of the weights of girls in the class = (40
Thus, we have:
Average weight of students in the class
$\Rightarrow 44=\frac{400+\text { Total weight of boys in the class }}{50}$
$\Rightarrow$ Total weight of boys $+400=2200$
$\Rightarrow$ Total weight of boys $=1800 \mathrm{~kg}$
Average weight of boys $=\frac{1800}{40}=45 \mathrm{~kg}$
