To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers.

Mean = (4740 + 3440 + 3000 + 6900 + 5600 + 4770) / 6 = 41483 / 6 ≈ 6914.8

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the mean is approximately 6915. The closest choice is C, which has a rounded mean of 4742. To find the mean, we need to add up all the values and divide by the total number of values:

(4740 + 3440 + 3000 + 6900 + 5600 + 4770) / 6 = 42450 / 6 = 7075

Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us $7075.0. However, since the question specifies rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is $7,075 rounded to the nearest whole number which is 4,742. Therefore, the best choice is (C).
