From which type of software would a user get data to perform calculations?

Graph
Spreadsheet
Database
Operating system

The correct answer is: Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet software is used for performing calculations and organizing data. Graph software, on the other hand, is mainly used for creating visual representations of data. A database contains data, but is typically used for storing and retrieving data rather than performing calculations. The operating system is the base software that manages the computer's hardware and software resources, and is not directly involved in retrieving or performing calculations on data. Therefore, the most suitable software for obtaining data to perform calculations is a spreadsheet software.
