The average weight is 90 grams.

Explanation:

To find an average you need to find the total weight and know how many are in the set.
"Average" = "total weight"/ "amount"

In this problem they give you the total weight already of 720. Now all you need to do is divide by the amount of onions, 8

"Average" = 720/ 8

If you don't have a calculator handy...remember to ignore the zero an just divide 72 by 8 and you get 9.

Then add the 0 to the end of your answer to get 90 grams.
