Question

the order of magnitude for the price of 2 mid-sized cars that average 17,000 dollars is

Answer 1

Makes no sense.

\(\dfrac{33995 + 5}{2} = 17000\)

The orders of magnitude of the prices of the two vehicles are nowhere near each other. What has the average to do with anything?

Answer 2

it's a poorly written question, to be sure, but I think the desired action is to find the order of magnitude of 17,000...
