The answer is A. 142.

After a profound research, I found out that the wheel numbers are:
25, 80, 60, 20, 100, 500, 150, 200.

To calculate h
ow many cans of turtle wax can the game show expect to give out per player in the long run, we need to calculate the mean of the numbers on the wheel:
[tex]x= \frac{25+80+60+20+100+500+150+200}{8} = \frac{1,135}{8}= 141.875[/tex]

⇒ ≈ 142
