Data interpretation · solved example
The total sales of all five stores in 2024 exceed their total sales in 2023 by how many laptops?
Solution
The 2024 figures total 30 + 27 + 45 + 16 + 35 = 153 hundred; the 2023 figures total 123 hundred. The difference is 30 hundred, or 3000 laptops. Subtract the totals in hundreds and scale once.
Quadratic equations · solved example
In each, solve for x and y and give the relation: I. x² + 9x − 22 = 0 II. y² − 11y = 0
Solution
The roots are x = 2, -11 and y = 11, 0. Comparing every x with every y gives "no fixed relation".
Percentage · solved example
