RETURN spend / units;

Which of the following code blocks can be used to apply this function to the customer_spend and customer_units columns of the table customer_summary to create column customer_price?

Haha, option B is just asking for the function itself, not applying it to the data. Classic trick question!

D is interesting, but I don't think we need to explicitly cast the result as a double. E is the clearest choice in my opinion.

I agree with Graciela, option E looks like the right choice because it directly applies the function to the columns.

Hmm, I'm not sure about option C. Wrapping the function call in another function call seems unnecessary.
