Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the average amount made by Jorge in the last five months, we need to add up all the amounts and divide by 5 (since there are 5 months).

2426 + 2463 + 1451 + 2154 + 1119 = 9613

9613 ÷ 5 = 1922.6

So the average amount made by Jorge in the last five months is $1922.6.

Now we need to find which choice is closest to $1922.6.

Choice A: $1012 is too low. 
Choice B: $1307 is too low. 
Choice C: $975 is too low. 
Choice D: $1344 is closest to $1922.6, so it is the best choice.

Therefore, the answer is D.
