Ok it is exam time. How are your preparations going. Hope well. Have you gone through your work done from your text book? Remember practice makes perfect!!! Do you know how to work our 10% or 20% or how about 5% of an amount.
Ok let us see;
What is 10% of R30? Close your eyes and scroll down.









Did you get R3. Good for you!!!
Now how would you get 5% of R30. Do you know? Scroll down and let's see.




Work out 10% which you can do easily. I mean all you have to do is to divide by 10. But remember don't tell anyone our rule as mathematically it is not correct - move the decimal place one giant step. Ok you have it - it is R3. now 5% is half of 10% so what do you think you do with the half of 10%? Yes clear thing you divide that by 2 to give you 5%. Half of R3 is ???


Yes you have it. R1.50.

Keep on learning and you will be amazed at what you can achieve. I will keep on posting oh I have forgotten I am off for the weekend. Learn hard for Monday's maths. Only you can make it happen.
Bye.
