Question

$28

$30

$32.40

$40

Answer 1

To find the median price, we first need to arrange the prices in ascending order:

1. Sort the Prices: $28, $28, $30, $36, $40

2. Determine the Median: The median is the middle number in a sorted list. Since there are 5 prices (an odd number), the median is the third number in the sorted list.

The sorted list is: $28, $28, $30, $36, $40

Thus, the median price is $30.
