Answer:

22.5

Explanation:

1) Arrange the numbers in order by size.

(5,5,5,10,10,15,15,20,25,30,35,40,40,45,50,50)

2) If there is an odd number of terms, the median is the center term.

3) If there is an even number of terms, add the two middle terms and divide by 2.

(25+20=45)

45 divided by 2 is 22.5

22.5 is your median
