Mean monthly sales for Jan, Feb, Mar with values 20, 25, and 22 is approximately equal to which value?

Mean is found by adding the values and dividing by how many values there are. Here, 20, 25, and 22 sum to 67. Dividing by 3 gives 67 ÷ 3 = 22.333…, so the average is about 22.33 units. Among the options, 22.33 units matches the computed average. The other numbers are noticeably farther from the true mean (21 is too low, 23 is a bit high, and 24 is even higher).
