Calculate the Mean: Finding Average of 3, 7, and 2 Toys per 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 $4$.
