3. In cell D4, enter a formula that
multiplies the unit price in B4, the
quantity in C4, and the tax rate in E2.
Make sure to use an absolute cell
reference for the tax rate because it
will be the same in every cell.
4. Use the fill handle to copy the
formula you just created to
cells D5:D12.
5. Change the tax rate in cell E2 to 6.5%.
Notice that all of your cells have
updated. When you're finished, your
workbook should look like this:

Order worksheet. The total cost in cell E14 should update. Then, in cell C4 of the Catering
Invoice worksheet, create a cell reference to the total you just calculated.
