Challenge!

To work through the challenge, open GCFLearnFree L12: Classroom Budget and copy the file to your Google Drive. View the instructions below the challenge if you are not sure how to make a copy of the file.

1. In cell B23, use cell references to calculate the remaining funds by subtracting B22 from B21.
2. Try seeing how cell references work by changing the nonreimbursed number in B22 to another number. Notice how the formula in B23 recalculates.
3. In cell E18, try using the point-and-click method to write a simple formula that multiplies the price of the easels by the number of students.
4. There is a mistake in cell E24. Edit the formula in E24 to change the multiplication sign to a division sign.
