Accepted Answer

Step 1: List the sugar imports for each year:
2010: 5325
2011: 4521
2012: 6231
2013: 8542
2014: 7456
2015: 6523
2016: 5544

Step 2: Calculate the total imports over all years:
Total = 5325 + 4521 + 6231 + 8542 + 7456 + 6523 + 5544 = 43142

Step 3: Calculate the average imports:
Average = Total imports / Number of years = 43142 / 7 ≈ 6163.14

Rechecking the sum:
5325 + 4521 = 9846
9846 + 6231 = 16077
16077 + 8542 = 24619
24619 + 7456 = 32075
32075 + 6523 = 38598
38598 + 5544 = 44142

Correct total = 44142

Average = 44142 / 7 = 6306

Therefore, the average sugar imports over the years 2010 to 2016 is 6306 thousand tonnes.
