how to enter the price and amount for a purchase?

SOLVED

As a student exercise

How is the price column distinguished or differentiated from the amount column?  They would seem to be redundant terminology.

update:  from finding a video on SageU it looks like "price" means actually "unit price" and that, then, amount is a calculated field.  I'll just note that, as a student, both that this terminology is less than helpful and that the training videos could be easier to access.
