D Correct answer
Explanation

Sum of type A bikes = 12 + 18 + 9 + 21 + 28 + 32 = 120 (in thousands). Average = 120 / 6 = 20 (in thousands) = 20,000.

AI explanation

To find the average, first calculate the sum of type A bikes sold by the six showrooms, treating the values in thousands: 12 + 18 + 9 + 21 + 28 + 32 = 120. The formula for average is the total sum divided by the number of showrooms, so 120 / 6 = 20 thousand. Multiplying by 1000 gives the approximate average number of type A bikes sold as 20,000.
