Which of the following functions inserts the total of a range?
ROUND
AVERAGE
AUTOSUM
SUM
Solution
The answer is the fourth one: SUM.
Explanation for each option:
ROUND: This function is used to round a number to a specified number of digits. It does not insert the total of a range.
AVERAGE: This function calculates the average (mean) of a group of numbers. It does not insert the total of a range.
AUTOSUM: While this function is often used to quickly sum a range of cells, it is more of a tool or feature in spreadsheet software like Excel rather than a standalone function. It typically uses the SUM function to perform the calculation.
SUM: This function adds all the numbers in a range of cells and returns the total. Therefore, it is the correct function for inserting the total of a range.
In summary, the SUM function is specifically designed to calculate the total of a range of numbers.
