If you look at my original example, 3 in B2 gives me $9.00 while 3 in C2
gives me $4.50 for a total of $13.50, where I need it to total $9.00.

If you have 3 in cell B2 and 3 in cell C2 then that formula exactly as
stated gives you 9.

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)
