Mars is on average 228,000,000 km from the Sun.
Explanation:
Mars has quite an eccentric orbit around the Sun. At its last perihelion on 12 December 2014 it was 206,626,584 km from the Sun. At its last aphelion on 20 November 2015 it was 249,238,930 km from the Sun. This gives an average distance of about 228,000,000 km.
