Six children have collected these amounts in their piggy banks: $10, $33,
$45, $23, $1, and $68. What is the median of their savings?
a. $28
b. $33
c. $23
d. $66 - ✔✔answer: a. $28
Rearrange the numbers in increasing order: 1, 10, 23, 33, 45, and 68. The
median of a sequence of numbers is the middle value. Since there are six
numbers, there are two values in the middle 23 and 33 and, therefore, the
median is the average of these values. The median is 28.
