Let the average weight of the 59 students be A.
So the total weight of the 59 of them will be 59*A.
The questions states that when the weight of this student who left is added, the total weight of the class = 59A + 45
When this student is also included, the average weight decreases by 0.2 kgs
\begin{aligned}
\frac{59A + 45}{60} = A - 0.2
\end{aligned}
