5th Grade Excel Shopping Budget

TP – Students Create and Format a Clothes Shopping Budget with a Chart by using Microsoft Excel

Students use a shopping list to purchase clothing to donate to needy children on a shopping trip. Students have a gift card allowance of $200.00 to spend. Students purchase as much as they can for one girl and one boy without going over the $200.00 budget.

Students enter their chosen clothing items and costs in a spreadsheet. Students use the sum function to calculate total expenses from a column of values (clothing expenses).

Students use a simple formula to calculate money left over (allowance – total clothing expenses).
