Here are the answers for Question 10 based on the invoice provided:

Identify the given totals from the bottom of the invoice.
The invoice states:
- TOTAL SECTION B: 120
- GRAND TOTAL: 180
Determine the values for $\sum B$ , $\sum C$ , and $E$ .
The column labeled "VAT @ 15%" is also labeled "B". Therefore, "TOTAL SECTION B: 120" refers to the sum of the VAT column.
$\sum B = 120$
The "GRAND TOTAL: 180" refers to the total amount including VAT, which is the sum of the "TOTAL (Inc.)" column, labeled "C", and also corresponds to the field "E".
$\sum C = 180$ $E = 180$
Calculate the total for column A.
The "TOTAL (Inc.)" ( $\sum C$ ) is the sum of the "Sub-Total (Excl.)" ( $\sum A$ ) and the "VAT" ( $\sum B$ ).
$\sum C = \sum A + \sum B$
Substitute the known values:
$180 = \sum A + 120$
Solve for $\sum A$ :
$\sum A = 180 - 120$ $\sum A = 60$
So, the total for column A is 60.
Determine the value for D.
"D" represents the "NUMBER OF GOODS/SERVICES:". By counting the rows under "Description of goods/services", there are 4 distinct lines for "TYPE DESCRIPTION HERE".
$D = 4$
Summarize the values for A, B, C, D, E.
- A (Total Sub-Total Excl.): $\boxed{60}$
- B (Total VAT @ 15%): $\boxed{120}$
- C (Total Inc.): $\boxed{180}$
- D (Number of goods/services): $\boxed{4}$
- E (Grand Total): $\boxed{180}$
