Johnny bought six peanut butter cans at an average price (arithmetic mean) of 36.5¢. If Johnny returned two cans to the retailer, and the average price of the remaining cans was 31.5¢, then what is the average price, in cents, of the two returned peanut butter cans?	Choose the correct answer:	A) 46.5	B) 11	C) 47.5	D) 66	E) 67.5
Total price of six cans = 6*36.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">6*36.5</gadget>
<output>219</output>
219   Total price of 4 cans= 4*31.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">4*31.5</gadget>
<output>126</output>
126   Total rice of two cans= 219 - 124 = 93   Average price of two cans = 93/2= 
<gadget id="calculator">93/2</gadget>
<output>93/2 = around 46.5</output>
46.5 c   Another way to do it is this:   Assume that the four leftover cans were of 31.5c each. The avg was 36.5c initially because the two cans were 36.5c each and were providing another 5c of cost to other 4 cans.   So cost of the two cans= 2*36.5 + 4*5= 
<gadget id="calculator">2*36.5 + 4*5</gadget>
<output>93</output>
93   46.5vg cost of the two cans= 93/2= 
<gadget id="calculator">93/2</gadget>
<output>93/2 = around 46.5</output>
46.5c   46.5nswer (46.5)
