Explanation by: Admin

The average of marks of 28 students in Mathematics = 50
Total marks of 28 students = 28 × 50 = 1400
When 8 students left , The average of marks of 20 students = 55
Total marks of 20 students = 20 × 55 = 1100
∴ Total marks of 8 students = 1400 – 1100 = 300
∴ Average = 300 ÷ 8 = 37.5
