You can put this solution on YOUR website! :In a boat 25 persons were sitting.
Their average weight increased one kilogram when one man goes and a new man comes in.
The weight of the new man is 70 kgs. Find the weight of the man who is going.
:
let x = average weight of the 25 people and the weight of the guy that left
:
1 guy is replaced by 70 kg guy = x + 1
24x + 70 = 25(x+1)
24x + 70 = 25x + 25
70 - 25 = 25x - 24x
45 = x
:
The guy that left weighed 45 kg
