Useless at maths

I am trying to workout how much a weekly rate of 167.22 to a yearly figure. Can anyone help and if possible show how it is done.:o

As there are 52 weeks in the year, you multiply the weekly figure by 52. It's long multiplication. The easiest way is with a calculator. £167.22 x 52 = £8695.44

It's possible to learn maths. It's called Skills for Life, and the local adult college will be running adult numeracy - and also adult literacy - courses. I did this a few years ago now and followed it with GCSE Maths in my 70th year.

Except that sometimes there are 53 weeks in the year, or at least, a payment might have been made 53 times in a tax year. Which would give £8862.66.

moremore, if you tell us what you need the figure for, we might be able to tell you whether it's 52 or 53 you need to multiply by?

Respect MargaretClare, I did O levels later on in my life but nowhere near your age.

If you want exact yearly figure (rather than a 52-weekly one), since it's £167.22 a week, divide by 7 to get the rate per day (~£23.89), then multiply by 365 days (= £8719.33).

Or you could multiply by 366 days for a leap year (= £8743.22).

Or multiply by 365.25 to get an average yearly rate that takes account of both leap years and non-leap years (= £8725.30).

Hope that helps...

I run Skills for Life classes in maths and English and our oldest students are often in their 80s!:T
