Speed–time: distance = speed × time; average speed for equal distances = 2xy/(x+y), not (x+y)/2.
Percentage change: successive changes of a% and b% give net a + b + ab/100 percent.
Simple interest = P×R×T/100; compound interest = P[(1+R/100)^T − 1].
Ratio rule: if a:b = 2:3 and b:c = 4:5, make b common → a:b:c = 8:12:15.
