To find the average revenue, we need to take the total revenue and divide it by the number of units sold. Since we do not have information about the number of units sold at each price point, we cannot directly calculate the average revenue. However, we can find the total revenue at each price point and then take the average of those values.

Using the formula for total revenue, we get:

Total revenue for product 1 = (25)(200 - 2(25)) + (50)(200 - 2(50)) = 7500 + 5000 = 12500
Total revenue for product 2 = (25)(300 - 2(25)) + (50)(300 - 2(50)) = 11250 + 7500 = 18750
Total revenue for both products = 12500 + 18750 = 31250

The average revenue is then:

Average revenue = total revenue / (number of price points) = 31250 / 4 = 7800

However, this is not one of the answer choices. We need to round to the nearest dollar to get one of the answer choices. Rounding up gives us:
