║First step║
Let's find the mean of Sherwin's homework scores. All we need to do is add up all the scores and divide by the amount of scores.
5+35+65+95= 200
200÷4=50

║Second step║
Find the distance away and ignore the minus signs.
5⇒45
35⇒15
65⇒15
95⇒45

║Third step║

Find the mean of the distances.
45+15+15+45
120÷4=30

The mean absolute deviation is 30.

Tell me if this helps!!
