Practical Applications

Budgeting and Money Math

Managing Your Money

Math is everywhere, especially when it comes to money! Budgeting means planning how to spend and save. You use linear equations to track income and expenses, and data analysis to see where your money goes.

Real-World Scenarios

  • Track your weekly allowance or savings.
  • Calculate the total cost of items with sales tax or discounts.
  • Use graphs to compare prices or plan a budget for a party.

Math helps you make smart financial choices, avoid overspending, and reach your goals!

Examples

  • Saving $5 a week means in 10 weeks you'll have $50.

  • If a $20 shirt is 25% off, the sale price is $20 - (0.25 × $20) = $15.
