Actually, there is
no problem to solve in the image you uploaded — it’s a
completed sample daily sales report template.
The template shows:
- A salesperson:
Zach Posey
- Date:
11/30/28
- A list of 7 items sold (A through H), with:
- Item number
- Item name and description
- Unit price
- Quantity sold
- Amount (Price × Qty)
- Tax rate (either 15% or 0%)
- Tax calculated (Amount × Tax Rate)
- Total per item (Amount + Tax)
At the top right, summary totals are shown:
-
SALES AMOUNT: $3,750.00 → This is the sum of all “AMOUNT” column values.
-
SALES TAX: $277.50 → This is the sum of all “TAX” column values.
-
SALES TOTAL: $4,027.50 → This is Sales Amount + Sales Tax.

✔ Verification of Totals
Let’s verify the math manually to confirm accuracy:
| Item | Amount | Tax | Total |
|------|--------|-----|-------|
| A | $200 | $30 | $230 |
| B | $200 | $30 | $230 |
| C | $150 | $22.50 | $172.50 |
| D | $400 | $0 | $400 |
| E | $500 | $75 | $575 |
| F | $1,500 | $0 | $1,500 |
| G | $200 | $30 | $230 |
| H | $600 | $90 | $690 |
|
TOTALS |
$3,750 |
$277.50 |
$4,027.50 |
✔️ All numbers add up correctly.

📌
What this template is for:
This is a
template for future use. The instructions say:
> *“Enter data on the Inventory List tab, then select your items from the dropdown menu in each cell of the Item No. column. Enter the quantity and tax rate for each item, and the template will calculate totals.”*
So, if you were to fill in new data (e.g., different items, quantities, or tax rates), the formulas in the “AMOUNT”, “TAX”, and “TOTAL” columns would automatically recalculate, as would the summary totals at the top.

✔ Conclusion:
There is no error or unsolved problem — this is a
correctly filled-out sample report meant to demonstrate how the template works. If you were expecting to solve a specific calculation or find an error, none exists here.
