Answer:

The mean of the profit of the sales is C. 9,819.40.

Explanation:

To have the mean of the profits we have to sum all the values and then divide it by the amount of values added, this is:


Mean Profit=(10,126+9,999+12,398+12,007+4,567)/(5)


MeanProfit=(49,097)/(5)=9,819.40

The mean of the profit of the sales is C. 9,819.40.
