Question

A.
$28

B.
$30

C.
$32.40

D.
$40

Answer 1

To find the median price, we first need to arrange the prices in order from least to greatest. The prices given are:

$28, $36, $40, $30, and $28.

Arranging these in order, we get:

$28, $28, $30, $36, $40.

Next, we find the median. The median is the middle number in a sorted list. Since there are 5 numbers in this case, the median will be the third number:

$28, $28, $30, $36, $40.

Therefore, the median price is $30.

The correct answer is:

B. $30
