B) $450.00
C) $537.25
D) $554.25

Respuesta :

Answer:

C: $537.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Average= [tex]\frac{April+May+June}{3}[/tex]

396.25=[tex]\frac{401.5+250+J}{3}[/tex]

let j be june

then you want to add the April and May together and multiply the 3 to the other side

1188.75=651.5+J

then subtract 651.5 from both sides

537.25=J
