Practice Question

Lisa is decorating her office with two fully stocked aquariums. She saw an advertisement for Jorge's pet store in the newspaper. Jorge's store sells fish for aquariums. The table shows the fish Lisa buys from Jorge's pet store.
Jorge tells each customer that the total lengths, in inches, of the fish in an aquarium cannot exceed the number of gallons of water the aquarium contains.
What is the mean price of all the fish Lisa buys for her aquarium?

Answer Choices

  • A: $2.99
  • B: $6.45
  • C: $3.39
  • D: $5.14

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Without the table, the mean cannot be calculated. Assume typical GED fish prices (e.g., $2, $3, $4, $5). Sum and divide by number of fish. Placeholder: ($2 + $3 + $4 + $5)/4 = $3.50, closest to $3.39. Answer requires table data.
