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

  1. $28
  2. $28
  3. $30
  4. $36
  5. $40

The median is the middle number in a sorted list. Since there are five prices (an odd number), the median is the third number in this ordered list.

The third number is $30.

So, the median price is $30.
