The average weight of 3 men a, b and c is 84 kg. another man d joins the group and the average now becomes 80 kg. if another man e whose weight is 3 kg more than that of d, replaces a then the average weight of b, c, d and e becomes 79 kg. what is the weight of a?

Respuesta :

The weight of A is 75kg.

How to calculate the weight?

Total weight of A + B + C = 84 x 3 = 252kg

Total weight of A + B + C + D = 80 x 4 =.320 kg

Weight of D = 320 - 252 = 68 kg

Given, E = D + 3 = (68 + 3) kg = 71 kg

Total weight of B + C + D + E = (79 x 4) = 316 kg

Weight of B + C = 316 kg - 71 kg - 68 kg = 177 kg

Weight of A only will be:

= 320 kg - 177 kg - 68 kg

= 75 kg
