120,000 * 10 = 1,200,000 (sales for Jan - Oct)

120,000 * 3 = 360,000 (sales for Nov)

120,000 * 5 = 600,000 (sales for Dec)

1,200,000 + 360,000 + 600,000 = 2,160,000 (sales Jan - Dec)


2,160,000/12 = 180,000 (average sales for the year)

Unless I'm missing something here, the answer is A, $180,000. $120,000 a month for 10 months, plus $360,000 for November and $600,000 for December equals $2,160,000. That's then divided by the 12 months of the year, for a monthly average of $180,000.

(120,000 x 10) + (3 x 120,000) + (5 x 120,000)

((120,000 x 10) + (3 x 120,000) + (5 x 120,000))/12


120,000(10+3+5)/12



120,000*18/12


=180,000
