Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, extract the relevant data from the table: Salesman B sold 54 shoes on Thursday, E sold 30 on Saturday, and D sold 120 on Tuesday.
Next, calculate the sum of these values: 54 + 30 + 120 = 204.
Finally, divide the sum by 3 to find the average: 204 / 3 = 68.
