Number of students = 70 Average weight of 26 girls = 28 kg Total weight of 26 girls = 28(26) = 728 kg Remaining students = 70 - 26 = 44 Average weight of 44 students = 35 Total weight of 44 students = 44(35) = 1540 kg Total weight of 70 students = 1540 + 728 = 2268 kg |
| Average weight of 70 students = 2268/70 = 32.4 kg |
