Question

deb went around the neighborhood collecting spare change for charity. the 7 families gave: $13.00 $15.00 $16.00 $13.00 $14.00 $15.00 $12.00 what was the mean amount of change given? $

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the amounts

First, we add up all the given amounts: \(13 + 15 + 16 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 12\). Let's calculate that: \(13+15 = 28\), \(28+16 = 44\), \(44+13 = 57\), \(57+14 = 71\), \(71+15 = 86\), \(86+12 = 98\). So the total sum is \(98\).

Step2: Divide by the number of families

There are 7 families, so we divide the total sum by 7: \(\frac{98}{7}=14\).

Answer:

\(14\)
