At the beginning of a certain 30-day billing cycle, Jane's creditcardaccount had a balance of $600. Jane made a payment of $300 on the account during the billing cycle.

注意,题目问的是what was the average daily balance on Jane's account for the billing cycle?
它问的是平均数,而根据前面题目对平均数的定义: the average daily balance for a 30-day billing cycle is the average (arithmetic mean) of the daily balances at the end of each of the 30 days.
