What is mean: A mean is the simple mathematical average of a set of two or more numbers. To solve for it add all numbers together then divide by how many numbers are there. (Its best to put them in order)

$40 + $40 $60 + $80 + $100= $320/5= $64 is the mean

what is median: The median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample

40,40,60,80,100 (i like to cross it out so 40 and 100 cancle each other, another 40 and 80 cancel each other) now that you are left with only 1 number which is 60 that is the median.

What is Mode: the number that repeats the most

Mode is 40 because 40 repeats twice
