The average weight of 45 passenger on board an aircraft is 50 kg. If the weight of 5 members of the crew is added, the average is reduced by half kilogram . What is the average weight of the crew members?

1 Answer

Answer :

Total weight of 45 passenger = 45 x 50 = 2250 kg

Total weight of 45 passenger and 5 crews = 50 x 49.5 = 2475 kg

Total weight of 5 crews = 2475-2250 = 225kg

Average weight of 5 crews = 225/5 = 45kg.
