Receipt

Receipt
This solution shows a receipt for a car repair service. It includes 6 different items, each item has name and amount. The total due is shown at the bottom of the amount column and shows the numerical summary of the data of the column.

The cheaper provider
After we got the receipt from the original repair service, we contacted another provider , to review the receipt and to offer a better price. The cheaper provider looked at the receipt and said "all the prices seems reasonable, except the labor trans rebuild - I can make it for $300 instead of $525".

The following solution uses just two formulas to add the information about the cheaper provider.

We can also calculate how much we could save by selecting the cheaper provider. To due this we add a new column that shows the difference in the prices between the two providers.
