myITlab: Ch. 2 Project Exam - ERROR TO NOTE

On the first TWO questions, the lab has you type in a formula to calculate the cost of a trip, including insurance, and including taxes.

It doesn't like it if you type in
=(F4*$B$11) + F4
(where F4 is a total, and B11 is the tax or insurance rate)

It DOES like it if you type
=F4 + (F4 * $B$11)


Yes, they give the same result in Excel. myITlab just doesn't like it.
Make a note of this before you start that exam!
