Mccormick · Answer 1

B because you would want to add up all the prices and divide it by three but make sure you pick the one with parenthesis around the prices because if your following pemdas you would have to do 45/3 first

Abbie Morrison · Answer 2

Average=total price/number of books

3 books

totl price=32+45+39=116

(32+45+39) / 3

use parenthasees for pemdas
