Three worked examples
Example 1 · Percentages
25% is one quarter. One quarter of 80 is 80 ÷ 4 = 20.
Example 2 · Average
Add the numbers, then divide by how many there are. 4 + 6 + 8 = 18, and 18 ÷ 3 = 6.
Example 3 · Pythagoras
For a right-angled triangle with shorter sides 3 and 4: 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25. The square root of 25 is 5, so the hypotenuse is 5.
Three common mistakes
Mixing up perimeter and area. A square with sides of 5 cm has a perimeter of 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm, but an area of 5 × 5 = 25 square cm.
Forgetting the negative root. If x² = 49, then x can be 7 or −7, because (−7) × (−7) is also 49.
Mixing up the circle formulas. The area of a circle is π × r × r. The circumference is 2 × π × r.
