A Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost = (13 * 50) + (15 * 60) + (12 * 65) = 650 + 900 + 780 = 2330. Total number of articles = 13 + 15 + 12 = 40. Average = 2330 / 40 = 58.25.

AI explanation

The total cost is calculated by multiplying each quantity by its price, yielding (13 x 50) + (15 x 60) + (12 x 65) = 650 + 900 + 780 = 2330. The total number of articles is 13 + 15 + 12 = 40. Using the formula Average = Total Cost / Total Articles, the average money spent is 2330 / 40 = 58.25.
