Adding number variables

I was working through the webinar on number variables and was wondering if there was a way to add number variables over multiple slides.  For example,  the practice file has you create a number variable with hours worked.  If I had a learner input hours worked on several slides, how can I have a final slide with all the hours they have worked for a month or a week or whatever time period?

Thanks,

Daniel

    You can either update the same number variable on several slides (aka use the variable as a running total), or have separate variables for each slide, which then get added to the total on the final slide.

      Hi Michael, I'm not sure how to do what you are outlining.  Can you go into more detail?

        Here is a quick example that hopefully illustrates the two different options I had mentioned.
