Background
In everyday life the same maths shows up in discounts, recipe scaling, renovation measurements and comparing prices per unit. Being comfortable with it saves money and avoids costly measuring mistakes.
Rounding is a common source of small errors. Keep full precision during intermediate steps and round only the final answer to the number of decimal places or significant figures the question asks for.
