Hello!

To find the mean of the given numbers, you would add up all of the given values, and divide by how many numbers were given. In other words, it is the sum divided by the count.

Since each supermarket raised it's price by $0.05, we need to add that value to each of the price of a loaf of bread at the five supermarkets.

Supermarket 1: $1.44 + $0.05 = $1.49

Supermarket 2: $1.59 + $0.05 = $1.64

Supermarket 3: $1.69 + $0.05 = $1.74

Supermarket 4: $1.47 + $0.05 = $1.52

Supermarket 5: $1.61 + $0.05 = $1.66

After calculating the increased prices of the loaves of bread at each supermarket, we add each price, and divide by 5.

($1.49 + $1.64 + $1.74 + $1.52 + $1.66) / 5

$8.05 / 5

$1.61

Hence, the mean price of today's loaf of bread at the five supermarkets is $1.61, choice D.
