Suppose we start with an element x. If we apply f to it, we get to x+2. In order to get back to where...

This is often overlooked as no-one gives a reason to why this is and is often stated as a fact. We start off with the basic indice law of x^y * x^z = x^y+z.
For example,...

You know the following: 
A) 80, 10%
B) 75, 20%
C) 50, 45%
D) 90, 5%
E) X, (100-10-20-45-5)% = 20%
Therefore, create a formula with the facts given and the mean marks must be ...

 The problem is:
‘Tom travels from a to b and at a speed of 90km per hour. It takes him time ‘t’. Alice travels from a to b at a speed of 70km per hour. It takes her time ‘t+ 1 hour’.

There is a simple way of making calculations with percentages.
Say you want to subtract from a numerical value x,20%. Then multiply it with 80/100.
Say you want to add 20%.Then multiply with 120...
