Answer:
I believe the answer is B.
Your percentage gain on the investment was d)15%
To find percentage increase we subtract original number from new number.
2,643 - 2,300 = 343
Then we divide 343 by 2,300 = .1491
Then you multiply by 100.
.1491 * 100 = 14.91
It is a 14.91% (rounded) increase.
So the nearest percent out of these options would be 15%.
Hope this helps you! (:

Although Microsoft Excel isn't a language itself, nor does it come with its own built-in language, I do see what you mean regarding its ability to create functions and whatnot to make the spreadsheet more versatile and efficient.
Yeah, syntactical errors (or compile errors in a compiled language like C++), are going to be harder to spot in Excel than it would be in a programming language, surprisingly. This is because of the reason that I just said; most programming languages such as C++ are compiled languages, meaning that they are written in an IDE (such as Visual Studio, for C++), which is used for writing out, debugging, and compiling programs in to a executable format. The IDE would not let the compilation process finish successfully unless there were no syntax errors in the code itself (not to be confused with runtime errors; those are the harder ones to iron out, as the compiler will not tell you there is an error).
