Harper bought 9 toys for her puppy, Peanut. The toys cost:

$9.00 $6.00 $9.00 $9.00 $6.00 $5.00 $6.00 $5.00 $3.00
What was the median price of the toys?

Answer 1

$6.00
Explanation:
As we know that the median is the middle value of a data set. When we list these costs in order:
3,5,5,6,6,6,9,9,9
When crossing out the values on each side we can see that the middle value lands on 6
so the median is $6.00
