Rearranging equations rules
• Write out the equation (from a formula sheet or frommemory)
• Replace any letters with numbers that are given in theinformation

Percentages
• A percentage is a way of expressing a number as afraction of 100
• Per cent (%) = per hundred
• 45% = 45 / 100 = 0.45
21
• To convert fraction/decimal to a % multiply by 100• To convert % to a fraction or decimal divide by 100

Percentages quickly
• The quick way-DON’T use the ‘%’ button on the calculator
- INSTEAD convert the % given into a decimal by moving the decimal 2places to the left then use that number in the calculator
- Don’t waste time writing down separate numbers

Simultaneous equations rules
Two linear equations both containing unknown values of x and y
Step 1:Multiply one or both equations so that the number of either x’s or y’s is equal
Step 2:’ ’
41
Step 3:Rearrange the resulting equation to find the value of either x or y
Step 4:
Substitute the value calculated in step 3 into one of the original equations
