Publisher's Summary

Will you pay more for a $19.99 shirt with a 20 percent discount or a $24.99 shirt with a 30 percent discount? Can you quickly calculate how many eggs you’ll need to make 100 pancakes if your recipe says that two eggs make 20 pancakes? Can you reckon how much a $30/month gym membership will cost over the course of 24 months without writing anything or pulling out a calculator?

The truth is, most of the math you find yourself doing on a day to day basis it's usually done in your head, that's why improving your mental math skills is always useful. If you’ve grown up hating math, that’s probably because you’ve been taught with the wrong approach. Math can help you calculate a discount on the fly, easily multiply big numbers, or quickly figure out how much dough packs you’ll need to make 50 cookies if one pack will be enough for 20.
