Answer:

2

Step by step explanation:

Given: The average mass of all the students in the class was 35.1 kg. After 1 student left the class, whose mass is 32.3kg, the average mass of the remaining students became 36.3kg, how many students were there in the class room now?

Find out: how many students were there in the class room after one student left

Solution: Let the total number of remaining student be= n

Let the total number of remaining student be= nAnd the sum of mass of all the students be = x kg

So,


(x)/(n + 1) = 35.1

Make x the subject of formula


--› \: x = 35.1(n + 1)

And


--› \: (x - 32.3)/(n) = 36.3


--›x - 32.3= 36.3n


--› \: 35.1(n + 1) - 32.3 = 36.3n


--› \: 35.1n + 35.1 - 32.3 = 36.3n


--› \: 2.8 = 1.2n

divide both side by n


n = (2.8)/(1.2)

N = 2.333

so total number of students remaining is 2
