In BOOK III we apply our knowledge of numbers to study:
RATIO, RATE, PROPORTION, PERCENT, GEOMETRY, ALGEBRA
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Our mortgage calculations are based on interest rates expressed in percentages.
We can use our knowledge to better decide which bank to choose for a mortgage, tax benefit options and a whole host of problems we deal with on a daily basis.
