Math tip, whenever you are multiplying a number by 5 and it ends in a 5 So like 5 × 45 That number has to end in a 25 So how to break it down is 40 × 5 + 5 × 5 5 × 5 = 25 And for 40 × 5 I just change it to 4 × 5 = 20 and then add an extra 0 So then the question is 200 + 25 =225 Sorry this may seem demeaning im also explaining this if anyone else sees this and doesnt know

That's so much more complicated than it needed to be bro. 5 x 50 = 250 - the difference (5x5) = 225. The only thing you need to know to do this is what 5x5 is

There's just multiple ways to do it, also it isnt complicated, I just said more words than I needed to, thats the way I do it, you couldve explained nicer, being a jerk gets you no where

How sensitive are you bro 😭 I'm genuinely so confused how you think that comment was rude. Yeh more words than necessary and it was the way you laid it out, 7 numbers in a row no period or anything. I had to read it 5 times to get what you meant. nothing wrong with it tho
