Estimating If you are asked to estimate an answer to a calculation – Round all the numbers off to 1
s.f. and do the calculation in your head. DO NOT USE A CALCULATOR !!
e.g. Estimate the answer to 4.12 x 5.98 4 x 6 = 24
Always remember to write down the numbers you have rounded off

Percentages Percentage increase and decrease
A woman’s wage increases by 13.7% from £240 a week. What does she now earn ?
13.17% of £240Increase:
13.17 100

New amount:
31.608Her new wage is £271.61 a week
240 + 31.608 =

Copy and complete:
Reverse %
e.g. A woman’s wage increases by 5% to £660 a week. What was her original wage to the nearest penny?
Original amount = 660 ÷ 1.05 = £628.57
Originalamount x 1.05 £660
Originalamount
£660÷ 1.05
e.g. A hippo loses 17% of its weight during a diet. She now weighs 6 tonnes. What was her former weight to 3 sig. figs. ?
Original weight = 6 ÷ 0.83 = 7.23 tonnes
Originalweight x 0.83 6 ton.
Originalweight
6 ton.÷ 0.83
Repeated %
e.g. A building society gives 6.5% interest p.a. on all money invested there. If John pays in £12000, how much will he have in his account at the end of 5 years.
He will have = 12000 x (1.065)5 = £16441.04
e.g. A car loses value at a rate of approximately 23% each year. Estimate how much a $40000 car be worth in four years ?
The car’s new value = 40000 x (0.77)4 = $14061 (nearest $)
£12000 x 1.065 ?x 1.065 x 1.065 x 1.065 x 1.065
This is not the correct method: 12000 x 0.065 = 780
780 x 5 = 390012000 + 3900 = £15900
£40000 x 0.77 ?x 0.77 x 0.77 x 0.77
This is not the correct method: 40000 x 0.23 = 9200
9200 x 4 = 3680040000 – 36800 = $3200

Some useful words to know the meaning of: Sum = add together Product = multiply together Difference = subtract one number from another Reciprocal of a number = 1 divided by the number (e.g. Reciprocal of 4 = ¼ or 0.25)
Products of primes
Express 40 as a product of primes
40
2 20
2 10
2 540 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 (or 23 x 5)

5 7630 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 (or 2 x 32 x 5 x 7)
Now do the same for 100 , 30 , 29 , 144
Finding the HCF and LCM of a pair of numbersHCF stands for the Highest Common Factor (the biggest number that will go into both numbers)LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple (the first number to appear in both numbers times table)
e.g. Find the HCF and LCM of the two numbers 140 and 112
140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 and 112 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7
Write both numbers as a product of primes
For the HCF write out all the primes that appear in both answers
HCF = 2 x 2 x 7 = 28
For the LCM write out the largest number of each prime that exists in either number
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 560

Splitting in a given ratio
£600 is split between Anne, Bill and Claire inthe ratio 2:7:3. How much does each
receive?
Total parts = 12
Anne gets 2 of 600 = £100 12
Claire gets 3 of 600 = £150 12
Basil gets 7 of 600 = £350 12
Fractions with the four rules + – × ÷
• Always convert mixed fractions into top heavy fractions before you start
• When adding or subtracting the “bottoms” need to be made the same
• When multiplying two fractions, multiply the “tops” together and the “bottoms” together to get your final fraction
• When dividing one fraction by another, turn the second fraction on its head and then treat it as a multiplication

Recurring decimals as fractions
Express 0.77777777….. as a fraction.
Let n = 0.77777777….. so 10n = 7.77777777…..so 9n = 7 so n = 7/9
Express 2.34343434….. as a fraction.
Let n = 2.34343434….. so 100n = 234.34343434…..so 99n = 232 so n = 232/99
Express 0.13213213….. as a fraction.
Let n = 0.132132132….. so 1000n = 132.132132132…..so 999n = 132
so n = 132/999 n = 44/333

Speed, Distance, Time questions
Speed, Distance and Time are linked by this formula
To complete questions check that all units are compatible, substitute your values in and rearrange if necessary.
