Answer:

Your answer would be $34.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the mean cost that she wants from the gift, we would need to get the numbers that we already had, and have another set of row with the amount of gifts she needs with the mean she wants.

Here is how it should look like:

$25  $14  $33  $19    x

$25  $25  $25  $25 $25

We are trying to find the number for "x"

Therefore, we would need to use the process of adding, then subtracting after.

Lets add:

$25+14+33+19=91\\\\25+25+25+25+25=125$

What we would do now is subtract the numbers in order to get the price that Tonya wants from her gift, if she buys another gift.

$125-91=34$

Tonya should spend $34 on her last gift.

$34 should be your FINAL answer
