B) $450
C) $300
D) $250
E) $125

Answer 1

Brian's average bill over September, October, and November is $300.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Brian's average bill over the three months, we need to calculate the total bill for the three months and then divide it by 3. In September, the bill was $200. In October, it was $200 + $50 = $250. In November, it was $250 + $200 = $450. The total bill for the three months is $200 + $250 + $450 = $900. So, the average bill over the three months is $900 ÷ 3 = $300.
