  6. (1 pt) Compute the amount financed (in cell B5), based on the price and the down payment.
  7. (3 pts) Compute the periodic payment in cell B10. In this case, we want to be able to change the number of payments per year, so use the value in cell B6 for payments per year.
  8. (1 pt) Compute the total amount paid to the bank in cell B12. This should be based on the number of years, periodic payment and payments per year.
  9. (1 pt) Compute the Total Interest Paid in cell B13. This is based on the loan total as well as the amount financed.

  19. Change to the Gradebook tab. We will compute the grades for a set of students.
  20. (1 point) In cell F9, compute the total number of points possible. This is based on the points available for each homework, in cells B9 through E9.
  21. (1 point) In cells F3 through F7, compute each student's homework average, based on their homework score and the total number of homework points in cell F9.
  22. (1 point) In cells I3 through I7, compute the student's class average. This is the average of the percentage scores for homework, and the two tests.
  23. (2 points) In cells J3 through J7, place the word Pass in the cell if the student's final average exceeds the average in cell C11, otherwise place the work Fail
  24. (1 point) Compute the number of students who pass in cell C13.
