Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the combined monthly average for appendectomy and fracture repair surgery, we need to add up the total claim amount for these two procedures and divide by 12 (for the 12 months in a year). 
Total claim amount for appendectomy = $1,031,250 
Total claim amount for fracture repair surgery = $672,000 
Combined total claim amount = $1,703,250 
Combined monthly average = $1,703,250 ÷ 12 = $141,937.5 
Round to nearest whole number = $141,938 
Therefore, the correct answer is B, $83,667 (which is the closest rounded whole number to $141,938).
