The correct formula to calculate the total in the given table is:a) = B2 + C2 + D2+ E2 b) = B2 + E2c) = sum (B2 to E2) d) = sum (B2 from E2)

To determine the correct formula for calculating the total in the given table, we need to analyze each option provided.

1. Option a: = B2 + C2 + D2 + E2

   • This formula explicitly adds the values from cells B2, C2, D2, and E2. It accurately sums these specific cells.

2. Option b: = B2 + E2

   • This formula only adds the values in cells B2 and E2, which does not give the total if there are values in C2 and D2.

3. Option c: = sum(B2 to E2)

   • This syntax is not typically valid in Excel, as it should be =SUM(B2:E2). Assuming that's what is meant, it would correctly sum all values from B2 to E2.

4. Option d: = sum(B2 from E2)

   • This formula is incorrectly stated and is not a valid syntax in Excel. The concept is not accurately represented.

Final Answer

The correct formulas that would accurately calculate the total are:

• Option a: = B2 + C2 + D2 + E2
• Option c (if corrected): =SUM(B2:E2)

If we have to pick the best structured and standard formula, it would be Option a or the corrected Option c.
