Explanation

Calculating averages: North = 240/4 = 60; South = 195/4 = 48.75; East = 265/4 = 66.25; West = 280/4 = 70; Central = 190/4 = 47.5. West has the highest average.

AI explanation

Calculate the average sales for each region by summing the four months and dividing by 4. The averages are: North (50 + 60 + 55 + 65) / 4 = 57.5, South (45 + 40 + 50 + 60) / 4 = 48.75, East (55 + 70 + 65 + 75) / 4 = 66.25, and West (60 + 65 + 75 + 80) / 4 = 70. Comparing these averages, West has the highest value. The result is West.
