1 Answer

Answer :

A)

The average weight of a group of 22students = 34 kgs.

Therefore, the total weight of the group = 22*34 = 748 kg

When the weight of the staff is included, there are 23 individuals.

The average weight increases by 2kg. That is the new average weight = 36 kgs.

Therefore, the total weight of the 22 students plus the staff = 23* 36= 828

828-748=80 kg.
