Select one:
a. $12.50
b. $17.63
c. $20.00
d. $31.00

Answer 1

The answer is C. $12.50

You're supposed to arange the numbers in order from least to greatest then you mark out the highest and the lowest number. You keep this up until either there is one or two numbers left. In this case, there are two numbers as the median. Add $10 and $15 then you divide it by two.
