The average weight of 48 students in a class is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the class and other 5 students whose average weight is 54 kg join the class. What is the new average weight (in kg) of the class ?  Pick one:  A) 51 1⁄3  B) 52 5/8  C) 52 1⁄8  D) 43.42  E) None of these
Total weight of 48 students   = 48 × 52 = 2496 kg   Total weight of 5 students who leave   = 5 × 48 = 240 kg   Total weight of 5 students who join   = 5 × 54 = 270 kg   Therefore, new total weight of 48 students   = 2496 – 240 + 270 = 2526   ⇒ New average weight = 2526⁄48 = 52 5/8 kg   Answer 52 5/8
