These are the 3-digit numbers that satisfy the given conditions:
[123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 139, 149, 159, 169, 179, 189, 289, 389, 489, 589, 689, 789]
These are the sums of above 3-digit numbers that satisfy the given conditions:
( 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
These are the "arithmetic means" of the above sums:
(2, 2.333333333, 2.666666667, 3, 3.333333333, 3.666666667, 4, 4.333333333, 4.666666667, 5, 5.333333333, 5.666666667, 6, 6.333333333, 6.666666667, 7, 7.333333333, 7.666666667, 8)

Thank you. Your answer made perfect sense. I just did not see it. I added all the "arithmetic means and divided by 19 to get 2.16 - was that a next step?

Not really sure what they want! if they want the arithmetic mean of the 19 numbers...123, 124....etc., then all you have do is add them all up and divide the total by 19. I think it comes to: 5100 / 19 =268.42.
