Answer 1

Answer: $30,000

Explanation:

Jake earned $172,874 in 6 months.

The average he earned would be the amount earned in total divided by the number of months it took to earn that amount:

Average per month = Amount / number of months

= 172,874 / 6

= $28,812.33 per month

= $30,000 to the nearest ten thousand.
