Troy, Rico, and Mario each bought an item at the bookstore.

Troy bought a magazine for $4.99, Rico bought a pocket dictionary for $12.99, and Mario bought a package of notepads for $8.95.
What is the average amount that each boy spent?

1 answer

To find the average amount spent, you need to add up the amounts spent by each boy and divide by the number of boys.

Total amount spent = $4.99 + $12.99 + $8.95 = $26.93

Average amount spent = $26.93 / 3 = $8.98

Each boy spent an average of $8.98.
