calculate percentages, including the proper amount to pay in tips, commissions, taxes,
and discounts. You'll find out how to calculate interest rates and you'll develop
a better understanding of mortgages, credit cards, and other types of loans. You'll
discover a handy method for converting one type of measurement to another, and you'll
be able to calculate areas correctly so you don't overspend on your next home improvement
project. You'll become adept at interpreting graphs, calculating the probability that
something will (or won't) happen, and understanding the statistics embedded in test
results, polls, and even news stories. The lessons that make up this course are filled
with practical exercises and information that you can put to immediate use. ONLINE.
