With holiday shopping season just around the corner, there’s no better time to see how math truly matters in everyday life! From calculating discounts and comparing prices to managing budgets and understanding real savings—strong math skills make smart shoppers.
🧮 A Real Shopping Example:
Let’s say you’re comparing two sneakers that both look great:
👟 Sneaker A costs $100 and is 25% off for Black Friday.
👟 Sneaker B costs $85 but is 15% off, plus an extra $10 coupon at checkout.
Which one is the better deal?
Let’s use some quick math to decide!
| Steps | Output |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Sneaker A discount | 25% of $100 = 0.25 * $100 = $25 |
| Step 2: Sneaker A new price | New price = $100 – $25 = $75 |
| Step 3: Sneaker B discounts | 15% of $85 = 0.15 * $85 = $12.75 |
| Step 4: Sneaker B New Price | New price = $85 – $12.75 = $72.25 Apply $10 coupon → Final price = $62.25 |
| Step 5: Compare | Sneaker B saves you $12.75 more than Sneaker A! |
That’s how a little bit of math can help you choose the smarter deal and stretch your budget—skills every child can use for life. A student who understands percentages and order of operations can quickly see the true savings and make smarter choices! This is exactly the kind of critical thinking we build at Sharma & Sharma Tutoring Services—skills that benefit students not only on tests but in everyday life.
