This seems like a really simple thing but I'm struggling to figure it out using the tools available. I'm making a simple financial calculator of sorts. I basically want to ask two questions, then multiply them by an integer, sum the total, and present that total on the end in a statement question. For example:
Q1: How many babies do you have? (num; suppose answer 1)
Q2: How many kids do you have? (num; suppose answer 3)

@REFUND_AMOUNT == (Q1 * 200 + Q2 * 100) == $500 
Output on the ending screen: "You will get a @REFUND_AMOUNT / $500 tax credit this year!"

I'm building this to help consumers understand the new Child Tax Credit that was just passed in the United States. Thank you!

@tinytorso - welcome to the community from a fellow user. 

If you are using the new builder:

  • you could create variables for baby_refund, kid_refund and total_refund
  • at the end of question 1, add the number of babies to the baby_refund variable in one logic rule then a second logic rule to multiple baby_refund x 200 
    • that will give you the value for the baby refund
  • do the same for the kid refund
  • then add the baby_refund and kid_refund variables together to get total_refund. 

see this simple sample

and here are some of the logic pics

 

 

 

hope that helps..
