Your answer is 2.22, 2.22, 2.19, 2.52, 2.46

Answer 2

Answer:

Today's mean price would be $2.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a can of beans at five supermarkets  was $2.12, $2.21, $2.09, $2.42 and $2.36 respectively.

today each supermarket raised its price by $0.10. so the new price will be

$2.12 + 0.10 =  $2.22

$2.21 + 0.10 = $ 2.31

$2.09 + 0.10 = $2.19

$2.42 + 0.10 = $2.52

$2.36 + 0.10 = $2.46

To calculate today's mean price of a can of beans, we use this formula

$Mean=\frac{\text{Sum of all the values}}{\text{Number of values}}$

$\frac{(2.22+2.31+2.19+2.52+2.46)}{5}= \frac{11.7}{5}$

Today's mean price would be $2.34
