Explanation

Average = (320 + 80 + 160 + 120 + 40) / 5 = 720 / 5 = 144.

AI explanation

The formula for average is the sum of all values divided by the total number of values. Adding the prices of all the items gives a total of 320 plus 80 plus 160 plus 120 plus 40, which equals 720. Dividing this total by the 5 items gives an average price of 144.
