A.$25
B.$30
C.$50
D.$70

Answer 1

Based on Janice average, she spent $50 at the last store.

Let a, b, c, d, e represent the money spent on the five stores respectively.

Since she spent an average of $30 at each store, hence:

(a + b + c + d + e) / 5 = 30

(a + b + c + d + e) = 150

She spent $100 on the first four stores, hence:

a + b + c + d = 100

(a + b + c + d + e) = 150

100 + e = 150

e = 50

Hence based on Janice average, she spent $50 at the last store.
