Calculate the Average: Finding Mean of 22, 24, and 14 Apples in Three Boxes

There are three boxes of apples on the table.

Box A contains 22 apples.

Box B contains 24 apples.

Box C contains 14 apples.

How many apples are there on average in each box?

To calculate the average number of apples in each box, we need to find the total number of apples in all the boxes and then divide by the number of boxes.

• First, determine the total number of apples across all boxes. We have:
  $22 + 24 + 14$ apples.
  
  The sum of apples in each box is:
  $22 + 24 + 14 = 60$ apples.



• Next, we find the average by dividing the total number of apples by the number of boxes. There are 3 boxes:
  $\frac{60}{3}$.



• Perform the division:
  $\frac{60}{3} = 20$.
