Maddy's mistake was that she forgot cell B5 in her formula. By omitting this cell, the total was lower than it should have been, which is why she saw a result of 800 instead of a number closer to her estimate of 1,000.
Maddy needs to add the numbers in cells B3–B9. She estimates the answer will be about 1,000. She enters the formula, =B3+B4+B6+B7+B8+B9 and presses Enter. She sees 800. What mistake did Maddy make?
