Steve has given you the answer, but in case you can't wait for him to
finish work you need to enter your formula as:

=301.5/COS(RADIANS(19.79))

19.79 are degrees, and as trigonometrical functions in Excel use
radians you have to convert these as shown.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I got too, and I need to come up with the correct

320.43.
So there must be another solution to this problem. If you do this on a
calculator you'll see what I mean.
