Basic Arithmetic Operations

Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find a total. Used to calculate sums of money.
Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers. Used to calculate change or remaining balance.
Multiplication: Repeated addition of a number; used for finding the total of multiple equivalent amounts (e.g., price of multiple items).
Division: Separating a number into equal parts; used for calculating average costs, dividing amounts evenly (e.g., splitting a bill).

Budgeting

Creating a budget involves estimating income and allocating funds to various expense categories.

Budgeting helps individuals and businesses in achieving financial goals and avoiding debt.
Tools can assist in creating and maintaining budgets, including spreadsheets, budgeting apps, and financial software.

Calculating Interest

Simple interest is calculated on the principal amount only. Formula: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time.
Compound interest is calculated on the principal and accumulated interest. This results in faster growth.
Compounding periods affect how frequently interest is calculated and added. More frequent compounding generally leads to more significant returns over time.
Interest rates vary depending on the financial instrument and lender/borrower terms. High-risk investments often have higher interest rates.

Calculating Discounts and Markups

Discounts reduce the original price of a product or service, commonly expressed as a percentage.
A markup increases the original cost of a product or service.
Calculating discounts involves finding a percentage of the original price and subtracting it.
Calculating markups involves finding a percentage of the original price and adding it.
These calculations are crucial for businesses in pricing strategy and sales promotions.

Percentage Calculations

Percentage represents a proportion or fraction of 100. Useful for expressing proportions of a whole, discounts, taxes, and growth rates.
To calculate a percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage (converted to a decimal).
Converting a percentage into a decimal involves dividing the percentage by 100.
Percentages help interpret data and compare different quantities effectively.
