Solution

The correct option is C 101.5
Median is the middle value of a numerically ordered data set.

Arranging the number of sandwiches sold in ascending order, we get:
42, 92, 95, 108, 110, 112

Since the total number of data points is even, the median is the mean of the two central values of the data set arranged in ascending order.

Thus, median = 95+1082 = 101.5
