To find the median amount, we need to arrange all the fines in increasing order and then find the middle value. According to the table, the fines range from $100 to $2,500, so we need to find the number in the middle. There were 10 fines of $100, 7 fines of $250, 8 fines of $500, 10 fines of $1,000, and 5 fines of $2,500. Adding these up, we get a total of 40 fines. The median is the 20th fine when we arrange them in order. Starting with the lowest, we count until we reach the 20th fine, which is $800. Therefore, the answer is C) $800.
