(3 × $0.550 + $2.20) ÷ 4 = $0.963/1M — the $/1M figure blends input and output at 3:1 — that is the only way models with two different rates can be ranked on one axis. Your actual rate depends on your own input:output mix — input only $0.550, 3:1 $0.963, 1:1 $1.38, output only $2.20 per 1M.
The board shows this model's cheapest measured offer ($0.963/1M); the smaller figure under it is the mean of the 9 offers listed below ($1.58/1M). Add those up and divide — it matches.
