B. $3.81
• C. $3.73
D. $3.65

Answer 1

Answer: B. $3.81

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the mean, add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

So $3.56, $3.71, $3.62, $3.93, and $3.83 in total is $18.65.

$18.65 divided by 5 is $3.73.

Now the question it says that today, each gas station raised its

price by $0.08. So you're gonna add $3.73 + $0.08 which equals to $3.81.

B. $3.81 is the answer.
