The Hutton's records for the past six months show that their expenditures totaled $2.768, $3,001, $2,663, $2,471, $2,893, and $2,803. What is their average monthly expenditure for the six months?
Well to solve for average all you have to do is add the values together then divide by the number of values you started with. So we add them together(2768+3001+2663+2471+2893+2803) and get 16599. Then, since there were 6 values we divide that by 6 and you get your answer.
