    I don’t have a Casio calculator.

    You need to practise on figures you know and write down intermediate figures.

    Make sure you can calculate log 2 as 0.3010
    and log 0.8 = -0.0969

    Log 0.8/log 2 = -0.32196

    Make sure you can raise to a power. Eg 2 raised to power 5 = 32.

    Combine your skills to work out 12 x (50 raised to the power of -0.32196)

    = 12 x 0.28379 = 3.405

    Step by step:

    To work out log 0.2/log 22 press the following keys where / means the division sign on your calculator:

    log 0.8 /log 2 =

    The answer at this stage is -0.32193

    Clear all. To raise 50 to that power enter (where Xy is the button saying X suffix y):

    50Xy – 0.32193 =

    The answer at this stage is 0.2838

    Finally multiply that by 12 to give 3.405
