1. operations with Whole Numbers, Decimals, and Fractions -- 2. Ratio, Proportion, and Percentage -- 3. Graphs and Statistics -- 4. Income -- 5. Money Management -- 6. Buying Consumer Goods and Services -- 7. Borrowing Money -- 8. Investments -- 9. Health Care -- 10. Transportation -- 11. Housing.
Consumers today are faced with a bewildering array of goods and services. They must make decisions about job benefits, purchases, and investments that will affect their lives significantly. And yet many consumers cannot balance a checkbook or determine which of two packages of meat is a better buy. The second edition of Consumer Mathematics is designed to meet some of these consumer needs. We retained many of the features of the first edition, but added new topics, updated consumer information, more fully acknowledged computers, and reorganized some material to provide a more usable book. Consumer Mathematics opens with an introduction that brings into focus the many areas in which consumer decisions enter most people's lives.
