I am not sure when answering a question which involves calculation in a letter or report, whether to perform the calculation in the flow of answer or in an appendix.
This also happens when performing calculations whether to perform the Workings before and the main computation afterward or main computation before and refer workings later.
The general rule I follwed was this. If the calculation is simple, then I would show it in the body of the text (simple here refers to a one step calculation.) If the calculation was more complex, invlving parts, I would show the result in the body of the text and make reference to it in the appendix section.
Hope that helps
d standard rule is to inlcude d calculations in an appendix. it should neva be part of d body of your report or letter even when it a very simple calculation. u should however make reference to d results in your appendix while writing d report.
ok agreed, but what about performing calculations whether to perform the Workings before and the main computation afterward or main computation before and refer workings later.
all calculations should likewise be after d main computation. wat d examiner want to see is ur solution to d question which should ideally be backed up with relevant calculations in another page. except where d examiner specifically required u to show calculations within or before d main computation, d ideal standard is to show all workings in an appendix after d main computation, it should not come first. it even makes ur work neater & easier for the marker. u should always try avoid making d marker looking for where to award u marks just coz he cant find his way thru between ur real answer & ur workings
