You're not alone. I know someone with a Master's degree in education. She
cannot understand the "dummies" books

There probably was more. It showed a range and said enter formula that
will
show total profit. The formulas are driving me crazy. I am new to Excel
and
all the new job apps require excel tests. The Excel for dummies book is
confusing. Thanks so much for helping.

Was there no specific scenario assumed?

Price minus cost yields profit.
Price in A1
Cost in B1
Profit in C1 by using a formula of:

=A1-B1

There has to be more to it then what you're stating!

I was asked a question on a test "enter the formula that will show
profit"
