Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of checks

Sum = \(14 + 18+23 + 24=79\)

Step2: Calculate the mean number of checks per month

Mean=\(\frac{79}{4}=19.75\)

Step3: Calculate per - check fees per month

Per - check fees=\(0.20\times19.75 = 3.95\)

Step4: Calculate total monthly fees

Total monthly fees=\(3.95+12.50 = 16.45\)

Answer:

a. \(19.75\)
b. \(\$3.95\)
c. \(\$16.45\)
