Hi Symone Spells;

1) B3 = 32980 represents  the income in 1995

2) C2 = 350

3) If you mean all the savings from 1994 to 1996 it would
    be C4+C3+C2 = 4850

4) B3-C3 = 31680

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
