Calculate the Mean: Finding Average of 3, 7, and 2 Toys per Box

Below is a table describing the number of toys Jonathan has in his toy boxes.

Calculate the average number of toys in each box.

To solve this problem, we'll calculate the average number of toys in Jonathan's toy boxes using the following steps:

• Step 1: Identify the total number of toys. Add up the quantities of toys from each box.
• Step 2: Calculate the average by dividing the total number of toys by the number of boxes.

Let's perform the calculations:

Step 1: The number of toys in Box 1 is 3, in Box 2 is 7, and in Box 3 is 2. Therefore, the total number of toys is:

$3 + 7 + 2 = 12$

Step 2: There are 3 toy boxes. We calculate the average number of toys per box by dividing the total number of toys (12) by the number of boxes (3):

$\text{Average} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$

Therefore, the average number of toys in each box is $4$.
