__**Gift Calculation **__

Enter the number of gifts received on each day. For example, for Day 1, you would just enter 1 in cell C3 since all that was sent was a partridge in a pear tree. For Day 2, you would enter 1 in cell D3 and 2 in cell D4 since a partridge in a pear tree and two turtle doves were sent. Fill in all of the gift information.

You need to calculate the total number of each type of gift that was received. To do this we need to enter a formula in cell O3. Formulas always start with an equal sign. Click in cell O3 and then type -

=SUM(C3:N3)

which means sum up (or add) all values in columns C3 through (: in a formula means through) N3. Check the computer's work to make sure the computer did the math correctly (the answer should be 12 in cell O3).

Repeat these same steps for O4 to O14 in order to find out the total number of each gift.

You now need to total the number of gifts you received for each day. To do this, click in cell C16 and type

=SUM(C3:C14)

which means sum up (or add) all values in column C3 through (: in a formula means through) C14.

Repeat these same steps for D16, E16, F16, G16, H16, I16, J16, K16, L16, M16, and N16 in order to find out how many gifts you got each day.
