The shop sold a total of 382 umbrellas in the first six months of 2015.

The average number of umbrellas sold per month was 63.67.

The shop's target was to sell 65 umbrellas per month, so it did not meet its target.

From the graph, we can see that the number of umbrellas sold in each month of the first six months of 2015 is:

  • January: 54
  • February: 84
  • March: 72
  • April: 94
  • May: 52
  • June: 26

To find the total number of umbrellas sold, we can add up the number of umbrellas sold in each month:

54 + 84 + 72 + 94 + 52 + 26 = 382

To find the average number of umbrellas sold per month, we can divide the total number of umbrellas sold by the number of months:

382 umbrellas / 6 months = 63.67 umbrellas/month

Since the average number of umbrellas sold per month (63.67) is less than the target of 65 umbrellas per month, the shop did not meet its sales target.
