In a class with a certain number of students if one student weighing 50 kg is added then the average weight of the class increases by 1 kg. If one more student weighing 50 kg is added then the average weight of the class increases by 1.5 kg over the original average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class?

• n=number x=averge total=nx
  (n+1)(x+1)=nx+50
  (n+2)(x+1.5)=nx+100
  solve the equations x=47
