Last one for the 2nd Quarter
Week #18 The 12 Days of Christmas
It is very simple this week. Find out the cost of all the items in the “12 Days of Christmas” song.
List the cost for each gift item separately and then as its own group.
Write it up in a table format using the headings;
Day of Christmas
Gift
Cost of Gift
Total cost of Gift(s)
Final Total of all Gifts
Where you surprised by the total? Would there be a difference if you ordered the gifts on the
Internet? How much, if any, would that be? Is it more or less? Can you think of any reasons not to
use the Internet to buy gifts?
Remember to justify your answer. Explain why you did what you did.
