To find the median value of the houses, we first need to rearrange the values in ascending order:
150,000, 150,000, 220,000, 220,000, 220,000, 220,000, 490,000, 490,000, 490,000, 540,000, 540,000, 800,000, 800,000, 800,000, 800,000, 800,000, 975,000, 975,000
There are a total of 18 houses listed. The median value will be the middle value when the values are arranged in ascending order. Since there are 18 values, the median will be the average of the 9th and 10th values:
(490,000 + 490,000) / 2 = 490,000
Therefore, the median value of the houses on Mango Street is $490,000.
