Calculate the difference between the two prices, take half of it, and add to the smaller value (e.g., 7000+210000−7000=7000+1500=8500).
Students often add the marked prices of all five items listed in the table instead of focusing only on the two items requested.
Identify required values
From the provided table, identify the marked price for the Dining Table and the Book Rack.
Dining Table=10000,Book Rack=7000
Sum the prices
Add the two identified marked prices together.
10000+7000=17000
Calculate the average
Divide the sum by the total number of items, which is 2.
217000=8500
A is correct because the average of the marked prices of the dining table and book rack is calculated as (10000 + 7000) / 2 = 8500.
