Susan is looking at her cell phone bill from
the last 6 months. April’s bill was four times that
of all the other bills. If the median amount due
for a month was $32, what was the average
amount due in a month during those six months?
(A) $32
(B) $48
(C) $53
(D) $80
(E) $128
How to solve this problem? When the problem states that "he median amount due for a month was $32" - this could be for any month including April, as if we start from January, March & April form the median months. So how does one proceed with the problem?
