Answer: The filled out diagram is shown below

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The key tells us how to set up the stem and leaf diagram. It says that
24|5 represents the value 245.

This means that "24" is one of the stems. In fact, it's the smallest stem possible since there's nothing smaller than 240 on this given list of values.

The only leaf associated with this stem is 5. The stem 24 and the leaf 5 combine to form the number 245 as the key indicates.

--------------------------

In the next row is the stem 25. For this stem, we'll have the leaves of: 0, 1, 3, 8. The stem 25 and those leaves mentioned combine to form 250, 251, 253, 258 in that exact order. This time we'll use up four boxes for this row. The last box in this row is blank.

The remaining rows (stems 26 and 27) are handled in pretty much the same fashion. Let me know if you have questions how the boxes are filled in. It helps to start with sorted data from smallest to largest. Luckily, that's already been done for us.

The filled out chart is shown below. I replaced the stems 0,1,2,3 with 24,25,26,27.
