Simple cost calculator in Storyline 360

Hi,
I have created a simple cost calculator as part of a course we are developing. Here is a preview: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/90823da1-f8ed-48d9-86c1-ce596dad14bd/review
I have used numeric entry fields to get user input and then calculate subtotals for each type of accident and an overall total.
I found that I have to do a fair bit of recalculation after each entry, to make sure the totals are correct regardless of the order of entry or if a learner has returned to the page and there are already values there. Does anyone have a more efficient way of achieving this?

Daniel,
In a different but somewhat similar situation, Michael Hinze put repeated calculations on a layer, so he didn't need to do so much repetition. You might find it to be a helpful approach.

David,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and thanks to Michael Hinze for the idea!
This seems a better solution and more scalable for future activities.
Yes, that looks much cleaner and scalable. Nice!
