Compare against the average

Return names of products priced above the average product price, ordered by id.

Try it yourself

Open a fresh temporary sample shop dataset. Write your query and use Check answer. Checking uses a separate, clean sample so edits to your workspace cannot change the expected answer. Matches are based on this dataset, not a proof for every possible database.

Show a hint

A subquery can compute AVG(price) for the comparison.

Show one solution
SELECT name FROM products WHERE price > (SELECT AVG(price) FROM products) ORDER BY id;

Other queries can produce the same answer. Column aliases are ignored; column order and row order are checked.
