Answer:
97.5 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the 36 boys have a total weight of 42*36 kg (by just multiplying the average by the number of boys). Then, the 36 boys and the teacher have a total weight of 43.5*37 (the new average is 42 + 1.5 = 43.5 kg and there are now 36 + 1 = 37 people total). Hence, the teacher weighs:
43.5*37 - 42*36 = 97.5 kg.
