    When i am practicing questions in kit i have seen that they are solving in a horizontal way … for example there is question in kit NAW group.. there are 3 products .. these 3 products are either branded or unbranded .. and we have find budgeted contribution fro each branded and unbranded product… and then budgeted profit for the whole division…. now the problem is my solution does not fit in the page in horizontal way … and sometimes i don’t have space to give 6 headings of the branded and unbranded products plus 1 more heading of the division … how should we solve these type of questions … ? thanks

    Simply stick to doing it vertically, numbers going down. Not a difficult question at all… 🙂

    Don’t stick to it, instead, I’ll show you the way.
    97+89=186
    Simple, because compute the ones first but leave a space for the tens place.
    It’s also the same as in subtraction.
    52/2=26
    Simple also, because you have to compute the highest place first. Then remember the remainder that you have then you use this technique until you reached the lowest place.
    In multiplication, this is not the same if the multiplier is 2-digit above.It’s like adding!

    No, don’t you are cheap if you do it. Just do my technique.
