Answer:

B. $2.14

Explanation:

Given that

The price of the five supermarkets would be $1.92, $2.01,

$1.89, $2.22, and $2.16

And, each supermarket would be increased by $0.10

So, the today mean price would be

= ($1.92 + $2.01 + $1.89 + $2.22 + $2.16 + $0.10 × 5) ÷ (5)

= $10.7 ÷ 5

= $2.14

Therefore the second option is correct
