Fundraising Team T-shirt Sales Analysis
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:
Team Member | T-shirts Sold |
---|---|
Alice | 25 |
Bob | 18 |
Charlie | 30 |
David | 22 |
Emma | 15 |
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.
