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.
A quick mental estimate before calculating is a powerful check. If a room's floor area comes out at 4,000 square metres or a percentage comes out above 100% when it should not, you know to look again.
Frequently asked questions
