Answer:

  $1769.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of Mia's three highest salaries is ...

  $92,000 +94,800 +96,250 = $283,050

so the average is ...

  $283,050/3 = $94,350

Her pension is then ...

  0.01875 × $94,350 = $1769.06

_____

Additional comment

This is equivalent to the total of those salaries, divided by 160.

  T/3 × 0.01875 = T × (0.01875/3) = T × 0.00625 = T/160

Sometimes, there are simpler ways to calculate things like this.
