BASIC CALCULATION METHODS

1. Cross Multiplication
Used to solve proportions:
If a/b = c/d, then a × d = b × c

2. Multiplication Tricks
Example: 23 × 11 = 2(2+3)3 = 253

3. Squares Shortcut
Example: 25² = (20+5)² = 400 + 200 + 25 = 625

4. Percentage Method
Example: 20% of 150 = (20/100) × 150 = 30

5. Division Trick
Example: 144 ÷ 12 = 12

6. BODMAS Rule
Order: Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

7. Fractions Simplification
