Sample public questions

Specifically, you need to:

- Make sure you reference cells A5 and B5 in your formulas.
Your task is to download the file ‘TaxInclusive-RawData.xlsx’ file and execute the request. When you have completed your work, save it in .xlsx format, then upload that file for evaluation.
