answer is 3500

to get the average you add everything together and then divide by the amount of numbers which would be 4. so you get 14000 after adding it all and then divide by 4 to get 3500

Answer: 3500 (choice C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of numbers is {3000, 4000, 5000, 2000} in which we can think of as {3,4,5,2} but each number represents thousands. This sorts to {2,3,4,5}

The average of that is (2+3+4+5)/4 = 14/4 = 3.5 which represents 3.5 thousand or 3.5*1000 = 3500

Therefore, the average of the original set is 3500
