Question

A school bus can transport 100 pupils per trip. The average weight of boys is 58 kg, the average weight of girls is 49 kg and each pupil's school bag weighs in at an average of 5.7 kg. What will he load of the bus be when there are 39 girls and 28 boys on the bus? (including their school bags)

Answer 1

Total load of the bus will be 3916.9 kgs.

Boys weight = 28 x 58 kg = 1624 kgs
Girls weight = 39 x 49 kgs = 1911 kgs
Bag weight = (39+28) * 5.7 = 381.9 kgs
Total weights= 1624 + 1911 + 381.9 = 3916.9 kgs
