  • Calculating sales tax and tips.
  • Figuring out percentage discounts during shopping.

Real-World Benefits

These math skills help you make smart money decisions, avoid overspending, and reach your savings goals.

Examples

  • You have $50 and want to buy snacks for a party. Adding up prices helps you stay within budget.
