The average weight of 5 boys is 8w kg. When 2 more children whose weights are 11w kg and 12 w kg respectively joined the group, what is the average weight of the boys now?
Solution
Average weight of 5 boys ----- 8w kg
Total weight of 5 boys ----- 8w kg x 5 = 40w kg
Total weight of 7 boys
(40w + 11w + 12w) kg = 63w kg
Average weight of 7 boys
63w kg divided by 7 = 9w kg
Answer: 9w kg
