Practical Applications

Budgeting and Money Math

Using Math with Money

Math isn't just for the classroom—it's essential for managing money in real life! Whether you're saving for a new game or planning a party, budgeting helps you make smart choices.

Making a Budget

A budget is a plan for how you'll spend and save your money. Add up your income (money you get) and subtract your expenses (money you spend).

Calculating Discounts and Tax

When shopping, you use percents to figure out discounts and sales tax. To find a 20% discount, multiply the price by 0.20 and subtract from the original price.

Real-World Impact

Knowing how to handle money helps you make decisions now and in the future—from buying lunch to saving for college!

Examples

  • If a shirt costs $30 and is on sale for 25% off, the discount is \( 30 \times 0.25 = 7.50 \), so the sale price is $22.50.

  • You have $50. After buying a book for $12 and lunch for $8, you have $30 left.
