Where can I find the correct answer to a question that I answered wrong?

I calculated the sum of the expenses spreadsheet as $11,061.00. This was not correct. Can someone tell me the correct answer? Or even better, where to find it? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

If you're talking about the question that states "The spreadsheet shows all the expenses incurred by an individual over a period of time." (It's always best to quote the question you are having problems with) ...

I entered 11061 and the question returned "Correct". If you're entering it exactly as you have it above, the code will not pass as putting a comma separator in is what is throwing the error. Just remove the comma. Both 11061 and 11061.00 will pass.

Keep coding! :dizzy:
