List S consists of the positive integers that are multiples of 9 and are less than 100 . What is the median of the integers in S ?

Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We first list the elements of S and determine how many terms there are.$	$S = {9, 18, ..., 99} n = \frac{99 - 9}{9} + 1 = \frac{90}{9} + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11$	Theory & Tactics Method Card EVEN1-B Click to view full details
$We note that S is an evenly spaced set so its median equals its average.$	$median = \frac{9 + 99}{2} = \frac{108}{2} = 54$	Theory & Tactics Method Card EVEN1-C Click to view full details
