I use the math that I have learned over the years a lot in my day to day life. Though, the knowledge that I posses after so many years of math class has particularly helped in one specific field, shopping. Whenever I go to any sort of store I always think back to learning about the percentages of different numbers. This helps me to figure out what the actual price is that I will be paying for a certain item. Most of the time I keep my quick math a secret, though sometimes I do it openly and help out my family and friends when they are trying to figure out a price. When things are on sale at strange percentiles, I find that it is helpful to be able to do the math in my head, this is greatly needed with my limited budget. Overall being able to relate math into my everyday life has been very useful., and the extra practice that I get from doing this mental math has greatly helped me sharpen my math skills for further use.
