A Syracuse phone service company charges customer in

the following way. The monthly local phone call is a fixed
charge of $30. For long distance calls, it is 8 cents per
minute. The left table shows total minutes a customer
made for long distance calls. Calculate:
1) The long distance charge for each month.
2) Total charge (local plus long distance) for each month.
3) Annual total charge of local and long distance.
4) Percentage of annual total charge for each month.
Correct use of relative/absolute reference is required.

Entrance Exam
In this worksheet, select cell C4 and name it with VerbalScore in the name box. And
use VerbalScore in your Goal Seek process. NOTE: No space between verbal and
score.
The entrance exam for a masters' program has two parts - Verbal and Analytical. You
scored 95.00% out of 100 in the Analytical part. To get into a Masters' Program, you
need to get at least 89%.
How much do you need to score in Verbal to get a % (total) score of 89% (use the
correct function)? 83%

DO NOT DO THIS MANUALLY USING A CALCULATOR

In this worksheet, go to Insert and choose SmartArt, use Vertical Equation
under Relationship column to show the relationship between verbal score,
analytical score and total score. Remember that this is JUST showing a relationship
with words. We are not looking for mathematical accuracy.

such as $17.89. Use absolute and relative
referencing appropriately.

A particular company offers two types of

regular discount and deep discount (see the
table to the left).
For each of its customers, calculate sales

values; instead use cell references to refer to
fixed values such as $14.99. Use absolute and
relative referencing appropriately.

PART B:
Go to a new (separate)
sheet. Call it Payroll
Summary. In this
worksheet, copy over the
Employee table (A7:C14).
Just the Values! Then,
add two columns: "Annual
Working Hours" and
"Annual Wage".
Assuming 52 weeks in a
year, compute the data for
these two columns.
Format the table to make
it presentable.
