To calculate the average of the list of numbers, we first add them up:
173 + 299 + 181 + 103 + 540 + 81 + 270 + 360 = 2007
Next, we divide the sum by the total number of items in the list to find the average:
Average = 2007 / 8 = 250.875
Therefore, the average of the list of numbers is 250.9 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
The closest answer choice is C) 250.9
