Everybody's going to split the cost of the van, and that's $111 and 84 cents. And then we need a skydiving total. So, let's look at the skydiving pricing. It's $300 for each person. Or, for a group of seven up to 11, it's $270. A group of 12 to 15 will pay a flat rate of $2,999. Now how do we approach this, given some of what we've seen previously in the course? We could write a really big formula, helper columns, Lookup arrays. Let's see one way of going about this. So first, put this data into a table, formatted this table and let's grab this dark blue.
