The Scenario
You are in charge of an imaginary construction project. It requires you to: install fencing; pour a concrete pad; s
the fenced area, around the concrete; and track the costs for the project in this spreadsheet. The picture below
the project site. Details are provided in the box above the image.

With your gathering group, use math skills, Excel formulas and cell references to find the missing measuremen
the amounts and costs of material for this project.

Gathering Practice Instructions

Enter a name in the cell C2 then press "enter".
Adjust the widths of columns C, D, H and any others so the text fits well within the cells. You may want to use W
Increase the font size of merged cell B1 (Construction Project) to at least 15, bold the text and adjust the row h
Enter formulas in the yellow cells to calculate the missing measurements and material amounts and costs.
Use cell references. Do not enter numbers into your formula from reference cells, just reference the cell itself.
If a yellow cell says "Use =SUM()" then you must use the SUM() function, not just add cells together (x+y+z).
Make sure that numbers in cells D36 through D51 are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Make sure that the numbers in cells D54 through D57 are formatted as currency using the United States dollar.
Make sure numbers in cells H47 through H49 are formatted as a percentage and are rounded to the nearest wh
percentage.
Select cells G47 through H49 and insert a pie chart in the space provided that shows the project budget percen
Edit the title of the pie chart to say Project Budget Percentages.
