Application
Most math problems that you will encounter in the workplace do not come written with the appropriate operator (+. -, ÷, or x) in place. As an employee you will need to decode the real life problem into an algorithm. Words used that typically indicate multiplication are:
PRODUCT
MULTIPLIED
TIMES
DOUBLE
TRIPLE
OF
Example
It costs $0.36 an hour to operate an electric motor. How much does it cost to operate the motor 120.5 hours?
