15. Domanda 15 di 16

    In the sheet below, B2 holds 19.756 but is formatted to show 2 decimal places, so it shows 19.76. What does =B2*2 return in a General cell?

    	A	B
    1	Voce	Price
    2	Toner	19.756

    • A39.5
    • B40
    • C39.512
    • D39.52
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: C. 39.512

    A number format changes only how a value looks. Excel calculates with the stored value, 19.756, so the result is 39.512.

16. Domanda 16 di 16

    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: B. In the formula bar

    The formula bar shows the real value stored in the selected cell. The cell itself shows the formatted version.
