Answer:

163,380.48

Explanation:

First find the average of the first 4 months' figures.

To do this, find the sum of the first 4 values and then divide by 4, the number of data points:

(14889.51+22936+9856.88+6777.77)/4 = 54460.16/4 = 13615.04

It costs on average £13615.04 per month to run the arena.

This means the estimated running costs for 12 months will be

13615.04(4) = £163,380.48
