We want to calculate the commission using the rate in cell F3

In cell C4, create a formula that calculates the commission.  Use this to help you:

Remember that you want to multiply by the commission rate, absolutely every time. So you need to use the $ signs.

Try changing the commission rate in cell F3 to 15% to check that your formula is working correctly, as shown below:
