• In cell E5, calculate the Total Sales before taxes amount for Jeans, Jackets,
and Sweaters for January using the AutoSum function. Copy the function down to
E10.

• In cell F5, calculate the PST amount on the Total Sales before Taxes amount –
Multiply the Total Sales before Taxes by the PST rate. Set the Total Sales before
Taxes as a relative cell address and PST rate in cell F4 as an absolute cell address.
Copy the function down to cell F10.

• In cell G5, calculate the GST amount on the Total Sales before Taxes amount –
Multiply the Total Sales before Taxes by the GST rate. Set the Total Sales before
Taxes as a relative cell address and the GST rate in cell G4 as an absolute cell
address. Copy the function down to cell G10.
• In cell H5, calculate the Total Sales including Taxes for the month of January
using the AutoSum function. Total Sales including Taxes equals Total Sales before
Taxes plus PST plus GST. Copy the function down to cell H10.

• In cell B11, calculate the Jeans Total Sales amount for January through June
using the AutoSum function. Copy the function across to cell H11

• In cell A13, key the label Average Total Sales, in cell A14 key the label Highest
Totals Sales

through H10
