Answer: Median = the number in the middle of a set of data

So first we order the data:

7.85, 8.50, 8.85, 9.25, 10.85, 11.50, 12.65, 22.50

Now there is no exact number in the middle so we must find the number in the middle of 9.25 and 10.85 which is 10.05

Thus 10.05 is the median

Step-by-step explanation: hope i helped
