To find the median number of newspapers sold, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. The numbers are:
81, 83, 86, 88, 89, 89, 90
Since there are 7 numbers, the median will be the middle number, which is the 4th number in this ordered list.
The numbers in order:
1. 81
2. 83
3. 86
4. **88** (median)
5. 89
