Step1: Order the salaries

First, we list the salaries in ascending order: $3,200, $3,300, $3,400, $3,500, $3,500, $3,775, $3,250? Wait, no, let's correct that. Wait the salaries are: Employee A: $3,200, Employee B: $3,500, Employee C: $3,300, Employee D: $3,400, Employee E: $3,250, Employee F: $3,775, Employee G: $3,500. So let's sort them properly:

First, list all salaries: 3200, 3500, 3300, 3400, 3250, 3775, 3500.

Now sort in ascending order: 3200, 3250, 3300, 3400, 3500, 3500, 3775.

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 7 values (odd number), the median is the middle value, which is the 4th value when sorted.

Counting the positions: 1: 3200, 2: 3250, 3: 3300, 4: 3400, 5: 3500, 6: 3500, 7: 3775.
