Default formula that includes a maximum amount

Thanks, but that gave me total of $0.00,

I am needing to add a SUM formula to a cell to do the following: Cell
B2 is number of adults at $3.00 each, C2 is number of children at
$1.50 each and D2 will be the total of B2, C2 but I need to set a
Maximum amount of $9.00, ie if B2 is 3 (3 x $3.00 = $9.00), and C2 is
3 (3 x $1.50 = $4.50) I need for D2 to be $9.00 instead of $13.50 (B2,
$9.00 + C2, $4.50 = D2 $13.50). How do I format the cell so it knows
the maximum amount to put in the cell is a certain amount, maybe
something to do with the < sign's?


D2 could be:
=MIN(3*B2+1.5*C2,9)
