Simple math like fractions, decimals, and percentages can prove maddeningly difficult. Math Essentials helps readers learn to solve these everyday, yet complex math problems and meet the demands of both the workplace and the marketplace. A handy review of the basics, the book focuses on the practical and daily uses of math, such as calculating how much money a low-interest loan will save, determining the effect of mortgage rate changes, computing profits on a stock transaction, and figuring out how much of that salary increase will actually end up in a paycheck.
