Explanation: Let’s name the person who left A.
Without A, the average is 68 and with A the average is 70. This means that A pulled the average up by 2. Person A scored 16 points above the average (70) which means that the points will be “given” to the rest. So 16/2=8 person. There are 8 more person beside A. Question ask for in the end so the answer is 8.
