Formulas in Monthly Totals Column 
Move to cell G6
under the title Monthly Totals. Choose one of the formulas
you learned earlier to add each of the amounts in
Parents for the four months. Use any of the four
methods you desire. Your spreadsheet should look like
the one to right, just before you copy the formulas.

After you have
completed your formula copy it to cells G7 through G19.
You will see some "stuff (zeroes)" in cells G10, 11, 12, and
18. This is because there was "nothing there" to add.
So, go in and clean-up these cells by deleting the zeros
in these cells.

Next,
go to G9 and G17 and underline like you did before (Page
5).
Notice that
we didn’t copy the percentage formula when we started this
last copying effort. If we had copied a SUM formula, it would have
added the four percentages. We don’t want the sum of the
percentages. We want a percentage of the Monthly
Totals. So, we need to copy this percentage separately. Now, copy
the percentage formula in cell F21 to cell G21.
Now put a $ in cells G6 through G19 if you need to, and
a % in G21. Your spreadsheet column G should
look something like the image on the right
This would be a great time
to Save again.
