Given
Denise made sales calls. He made
    • 9 sales calls: on Monday
    • 6 sales calls: on Tuesday
    • 7 sales calls: on Wednesday
    • 9 sales calls: on Thursday and
    • 11 sales calls: on Friday

To find
    • The average number of sales calls that Denise made for these 5 days

Approach and Working out
Average number of calls = \(\frac{9+ 6 +7 +9 + 11}{5}\) = \(\frac{42}{5}\) = 8.4

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
