The document provides instructions for two Microsoft Excel exercises. The first asks the user to create a worksheet showing monthly income of $100,000, expenses totaling $34,000, and the remaining amount. The second asks the user to create a worksheet with student data including test scores and weights, calculate totals and averages, format as percentages, and sort by total score. The user is instructed to save, share, and email copies of the worksheets.

1. MicrosoftExcel Practical Exercise
Exercise 1
You have a monthly income of $100,000. Your monthly expenditures are Rent - $15,000, Food -
$8,000, Electricity - $5,000, Phone - $5,000, and Cable TV - $1,500. Make out a clear worksheet
with the Monthly Income, the Monthly Expenses listed and summed, and the remainder (that is,
the left over each month) calculated.

Exercise 2
Create the worksheet below. Type in the labels, the student numbers, the test results (which are
out of 100), and the test weights. The total marks and the class averages for each test must be
calculated. The class average for test 1 is simply the average of the marks obtained in that test.
Be careful calculating the total marks - you must use the test weights. The first test is worth a
quarter of the marks, the second is worth a quarter, while the third is worth a half. Changing the
weights in cells C13 to D13 should change the Total values.
The black borders around cells can be added using the Borders toolbar button . Select the
cells you want a border around and the select from the drop-down menu.
Now format the test weights so that they are shown as percentages. Simply select the cells,
choose FORMAT|CELLS, and format them as “Percentage”.
Select the cells from A4 to E9 and choose DATA|SORT. Select that you wish to sort according
to the ‘Total’ column and that you want the results sorted in Descending order.
 Save Worksheet as “Students”.
