Step-by-step explanation:
Total marks of 28 students in Mathematics = 28 x 50 = 1400
New number of students = 28 - 8 = 20
New average of marks in Mathematics = 50 + 5 = 55
∴ Total marks of 20 students in Mathematics = 20 x 55 = 1100
∴ Total marks of 8 students who left the school = 1400 - 1100 = 300
∴ Average marks of these 8 students =
8
300
= 37.5
