I think we use Math all day everyday. I just left the grocery store, where you have to weigh the veggies and fruit, look at the price per pound and "ADD" up how much I spent. Next write out the check and check to see if there is enough money in my account to cover it!!Subtract what I spent and move money from one account to the other to cover it.

ReplyDeletePRT is principal,( amount of money borrowed) interest rate (per year) and time (in years to pay it back) So you buy a car and get a loan from the bank, you need to pay it back, but with a fee for using their money. That would be the interest and time given to pay it back.

Interest and time can be used everyday. If you have car payments or banking you can check the interest on you accounts.

Yes I use time and intrest in everyday life. I use intrest to see how much I will have to pay with my 5 year auto loan. Time I use alot to get through my work day because I have to figure out how I can fit all of my clients into my day within so many hours.
