Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find highest - bid for appliances

Alex bids $1200$ which is higher than Sam's $1100$ for appliances.

Step2: Find highest - bid for furniture

Alex bids $700$ which is higher than Sam's $600$ for furniture.

Step3: Calculate total in holding account

Add Sam's bid for appliances and Sam's bid for furniture and Alex's bid for appliances and Alex's bid for furniture, then divide by 2. ($1100 + 600+1200 + 700)\div2=3600\div2 = 1800$.

Answer:

$1800$
