Let the average weight of 3 women be x,

then the Sum of the weight of 3 women =3 x
If a woman is replaced, then the average weight of 3 women =(x+4)
If a woman is replaced, then sum of weight of 3 women =3(x+4)=3x+12
Let weight of new woman be y, then
According to the question
\begin{aligned} &3x-100+y=3x+12 \\ &\Rightarrow y=3x+12+100-3x \\ &\therefore y=112 \end{aligned}

So the weight of the new woman is 112 kg
