Troy bought a magazine for 4.99 Rico bought pocket diconary for 12.99 and Mario bought a package of notepads for 8.95 what is the average amount that each boy spent?
Simply add up the amount of each purchased item then divide by the total of the purchased items your answer is 8.98
4.99+12.99+8.95= 26.93
26.93/3= 8.976666
Answer:
8.98 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Amount spent by Troy = 4.99
Amount spent by Rico = 12.99
And, the amount spent by Mario = 8.95
∵ Total amount spent = 4.99 + 12.99 + 8.95 = 26.93
Also, total number of boys = 3,
Hence, the average amount that each boy spent
\(=\frac{\text{Total spending}}{3}\)
\(=\frac{26.93}{3}\)
\(\approx 8.98\)
