When the number of passengers is constant, the change of the total number of passengers is "the change of average weight × the number of passengers". According to the meaning of the question, the total number is 20:
Change of average weight: 67-65=2 (kg),
Total change: 2×20=40 (kg),
So the passenger's weight is: 85-40=45 (kg).
A: The passenger who got off the bus weighed 40 kilograms.
