Hi everyone, 

I wonder if using calculator will be allowed to calculate which supplier offers the greatest savings compared to the current supplier. It is a table full of numbers and will take a lot of time to calculate manually. Thanks

Hello Van,

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use a calculator. Generally, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you are being presented with a lot of numbers in a case, it is worth it to take a second and think of how you could solve the question most efficiently. Quite often you will be able to find methods that avoid the most work-intensive calculations. This is an important skill to have for solving cases.

Hi Van,

Unfortunately not.

In casing you are not allowed to use calculators. This is why it's so important to practice fast math! And, to figure out what needs to be calculated…and do so in the most efficient manner possible.

PrepLounge has a great math tool to help you! https://www.preplounge.com/en/mental-math
