Answer 2

Answer:

9 a.m. - Gary; 12 p.m. - Hannah; 3 p.m. - Rachel; 6 p.m. - Christopher

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we can compute (notice that only 4 months are provided):

Rachel's total sales: 19.8 + 23.3 + 16.5 + 19.3 = 78.9

Gary 's total sales: 17.1+16.3+17.2+24.4 = 75

Hannah's total sales: 17.8+21.8+23.4+16.9 = 79.9

Christopher's total sales: 17.4+16.1+15.4+21.7 = 70.6

Hannah has the greatest sales, then her 1st pick is selected:

12 p.m. - Hannah

Rachel goes second. Her first pick is already occupied, then her 2nd pick is selected:

3 p.m. - Rachel

Gary goes third. His first pick was 9 a.m. then:

9 a.m. - Gary

Finally, Christopher goes in the only available spot:

6 p.m. - Christopher
