Understanding the basics in solving some daily business mathematics.

Source

Hello kids how are you doing today? I hope you are fine! It's been quite long since we talked on maths tutorials, today, I want you to draw your chairs and desk closer. I want us to look at the basics on solving daily business maths in an easy and understandable form.

At the end of this tutorial, it is expected that students is able to apply his or her lessons from here into real daily life activities. Among all we shall concentrate includes percentage%, fractions and other daily business maths.

How to solve percentage(%).

My dear students never you confuse whenever, you hear a word percentage and never feel outrageous seeing the symbols % at any sight.

Percentage (%) is nothing but the tool use to measure the rate of something, where in daily conversation, someone will be able to know how much part of his or her resources he has to give or separate to be used elsewhere.

For example, if you have 300 goat 🐐 and you what to give out some of the goat, percentage measures how many that you have given or want to give or other use from the total number.

Note percentage means 100.

For insurance, If you want to sale or give out 10% of your goat🐐, this implies = 10 divided by 100 multiply by the total number of goat 🐐 🐐 🐐 you have, which is 300 goats. Solved thus:

10/100x300 = 1/10x30 = 3 therefore, 3 goats is the 10% you are moving out while 277 goat is still with you. I know you are following Nice!

Example 2 if you're to remove 30% or any percentage of the total solve it as done above. 30/100x300 = 3/10x300 = 900/10 = 90. This implies 30% is 90 goats 🐐🐐...°

And then 210 is remaining for you. Hello kids I hope you understand? Just simple.

How to solve trade maths

If you are a supervising engineer on site, and labourers are deployed into the site to dig a foundation for the installation of the new building project.

Note a partition is measured 12 feets.

In the evening, some would tell you, I dug 18 and half partitions, while some, their own may not be in round numbers. For you to easily calculate. This is the essence of learning business maths.

For example, if the price of one partition is $20, how much is the person who dug 3 and half partitions going to get.

Source

What you should do is first one partition is equal to 12 feet and the price is $20. So what that should come into your mind is If 12 feet is $20 then one foot is how much?

Now say share $20 to 12 feet to see how much one foot can get by dividing 12/20 = 0.6. now multiply 0.6x3.5 = $2.1 this is the pay for this particular labourer.

Going forward
Nice!!! Have you seen problem ended. So now the price of one foot is equal to $0.6.

So what you need to do next to continue your effective supervision is to no longer calculate their foundation in partitions but use your tape and be measuring the work of each person, whatever the tape gives to you in feet eg. 7.23554feet. multiply it by the price of one foot which is $0.6. thus: 0.6 x7.23553 = $4.34 so no stress the next labourer has gotten his own pay as well without being cheated on.

Example 2. if the price of 3 oranges 🍊🍊 🍊 is #100, how much is it going to cost to buy 30 Oranges 🍊🍊 🍊...?

This is simply solved like above: 3 oranges is equal to #100 so 30 oranges = ?

3/100 = 30/? Now cross multiply thus 3 X ? = 30 X 100 = 3? = 3000

Divide by 3 = 3000/3 = 1000 therefore the cost of 30 oranges is equal to #1000.

Hello! Kids we will stop here for today, I hope today's tutorial is very satisfactory.

Thank you very much until we meet again.
