Doesn't it make you feel good when you watch a TV game
show and you know the answer? Does it frustrate you when you
feel you should have known the answer?
As you practice the flash card drills, you will notice that you can recall the answers more quickly. We think you'll derive a good deal of satisfaction as you notice the improvement in your speed of recall.
From time to time we will provide practical hints that you may find useful. Here is one of those hints.
MATH HINT: There is an easy way to figure out what you'll pay after a sale discount is applied. If the sign says " 40% off " that means that you'll be paying 60% of the original price, because 100% - 40% is 60%. If the original price was $30, you'll pay 60% of that ($18). Calculating 60% in your head is not really hard. You could multiply by 60 and move the decimal point 2 places to the left. The easier way is to multiply by 6 and move the decimal point one place to the left. If the original price is $30, multiply 30 by 6 to get 180. After moving the decimal point one place, we get $18.
