Reduced calculation :
The increase is revenue from the error is 12$. This increase is to be again divided by all four categories then added to the existing/wrong average. so 12/4 = 3$ increase in average. 128$+3$ = 132. Option B

I think you have typo.

you mean 131

We see that the correct sum should be 176 - 164 = 12 dollars more than the incorrect sum.
The incorrect sum is:

128 x 4 = 512, so the correct sum must be 524.

Thus, the new average is 524/4 = 131 dollars.
