Activity

You were part of a fundraising team where you tried to raise money by selling t-shirts. Create a table using a spreadsheet program to record how many t-shirts each team member sold. The table can be similar to the following:

The team exceeded their goal by selling 10 extra t-shirts

Fundraising Analysis:

Total T-shirts Sold: 25 + 18 + 30 + 22 + 15 = 110

Average Sold: 110 / 5 = 22

Highest Seller: Charlie (30 shirts)

Percentage Contributions:

Alice: (25 shirts / 110) * 100% = 22.73%

Bob: (18 shirts / 110) * 100% = 16.36%

Charlie: (30 shirts / 110) * 100% = 27.27%

David: (22 shirts / 110) * 100% = 20.00%

Emma: (15 shirts / 110) * 100% = 13.64%

Shortfall/Excess: 110 (sold) - 100 (goal) = 10 (excess)

The team exceeded their goal by selling 10 extra t-shirts.
