Formatting data - look• formatting function• values not used in calculations

Counting and Accumulating Sums• module-level variable

option explicit - forced to declare variables

#6 - P.E. 3.2 – pg. 119 design (name everything), print code, form, form as text, general and module comments, print one example of output; declare every variable (option explicit); val function for input text boxes; constant for the 10% fee – use in formula; format output correctly
