Answer 13

how? with a calculator?

Answer 14

Yes....

Answer 15

I think the purpose of the assignment is to let excel calculate everything.
So for expenses in October, you could put the following in the formula bar.
=150+50+60+40+30
That would result in 330 without losing the original sum.

Answer 16

You still there? @Mr.Ick

Answer 17

For the next part you will have to put your bank balance in a random cell. Then click D3 and type = in the formula bar. Then click the cell where you've put the current savings balance. Then type +(B3-C3)

What will happen:
the formula will first calculate what's between parenthesis. B3-C3 for october will be 550-330 = 220. 220 is what's remaining in October. Then it will add that remaining money to the savings balance. 5600+220 = 5820. That will be displayed in the savings column.

Answer 19

It's not very complicated, you just have to understand how the easy formulas in excel work. I'll draw it to make it more clear.
