Six college buddies bought each other Christmas gifts. They spent:.1. $178.622. $247.583. $228.454. $176.645. $180.226. $268.45What was the mean amount spent? Round answer to the nearest cent. a. $243.96b. $213.30c. $319.95d. $255.96

B. $213.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean amount spent on Christmas gifts = Σx / n

Where,

Σ= sum of

x= cost of each Christmas gifts

n= number of Christmas gift

Mean amount spent on Christmas gifts = Σx / n

= ( $178.622 + $247.583 + $228.454 + $176.645 + $180.226 + $268.45 ) / 6

= $1,279.98 / 6

= $213.33

Round to the nearest cent

= $213.30

Option b is the correct answer

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
