Answer:

Average per floor = 162 dollars.

Explanation:

Remark

First find the number of floors

Then make a total income received from those floors.

Then divide the total income by the number of floors, to get the average

Number of floors

Total number of floors = 6 + 2 + 1 = 9 floors

Total income

Total income = cost per floor * the number of floors.

Total income

6 * 140 = 840

2 * 220 = 440

1 * 178 = 178

Total = 1458

Average income / Floor

Average income / Floor = Total amount / number of floors

Average Income / Floor = 1458 / 9 = 162
