Math Formulas
Average formula:
Let a1,a2,a3,......,an be a set of numbers, average = (a1 + a2 + a3,+......+ an)/n
Fractions formulas:
Converting a mixed number to an improper fraction:
Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number:
Formula for a proportion:
In a proportion, the product of the extremes (ad) equal the product of the means(bc),
Thus, ad = bc
Percent:
Percent to fraction: x% = x/100
Percentage formula: Rate/100 = Percentage/base
Rate: The percent.
Base: The amount you are taking the percent of.
Percentage: The answer obtained by multiplying the base by the rate
Consumer math formulas:
Discount = list price × discount rate
Sale price = list price − discount
Discount rate = discount ÷ list price
Sales tax = price of item × tax rate
Interest = principal × rate of interest × time
Tips = cost of meals × tip rate
Commission = cost of service × commission rate
Geometry formulas:

Perimeter of a triangle: a + b + c a, b, and c: lengths of the 3 sides
Area:
Area of a square: s × s s: length of one side
Area of a rectangle: l × w l: length w: width
Area of a triangle: (b × h)/2 b: length of base h: length of height
Area of a trapezoid: (b1 + b2) × h/2 b1 and b2: parallel sides or the bases h: length of height
volume:
Volume of a cube: s × s × s s: length of one side
Volume of a box: l × w × h l: length w: width h: height
Volume of a sphere: (4/3) × pi × r3 pi: 3.14 r: radius of sphere
Volume of a triangular prism: area of triangle × Height = (1/2 base × height) × Height base: length of the base of the triangle height: height of the triangle
