My biggest problem in school is nothing but Mathematics. I got frustrated whenever I come across
anything that had to do with Mathematics. I thought that I was the only one going through this but to my greatest surprise,I have
come to conclude that there are many students going through the same problem "the fear of Mathematics"
The subjects that seems to be my biggest problem then is today my favorite subjects.
With a no bullshit approach, I'll highlight some ways on how you can overcome the fear of Mathematics and how to become a mathematics gurus.
1. Change your mentality; you need to unlearn all that you have ever heard concerning mathematics. Were you told that Mathematics is difficult!
Were you told that you're too dull to understand the basic concepts of Mathematics? Were you told that you can never do well in mathematics? You need to unlearn all these because they are false.
Mathematics is fun, Mathematics is a way of life and anybody can learn mathematics irrespective of your background.
2. Fall in Love with Mathematics again,How can you do that?
I'll give you some clear guide how to achieve that. I'm a student of University of Lagos studying Mathematics,I have helped many students becoming a
mathematics gurus, I'm ready to help you, email me (pedward080@gmail.com) for more on how to go about it

Any mathematician here should help solve this:

Florence spent 3/7 of her money on books, 1/4 of the money on clothes and 1/8 of it on her family. She then had #22.00 left. How much money did she have before this expenditure?

You can help here please as I also need to change my ways and mentality about mathematics...I am a behavioural scientist and I need to teach mathematics for means of livelihood and which book can you recommend?

Just like learning a new skills, you need to develop interest in mathematics to be able learn mathematics.
As a mathematics students,I can confess that mathematics is the best and most fun subjects to learn
Nothing dread me like mathematics back then in Junior secondary,I often find myself sleeping while mathematics lecture is going on but I later came to realize that my interest in the subject is low.
So here is what I did,I started making friends with guys that love mathematics,started solving some simple mathematics and finally developed my curiosity for mathematics.
Trust me your curiosity about mathematics will inspire you to learn mathematics and any subjects
And for books recommendation, there are many books you can read and for me to recommend any,I need to know where you are currently to help.
You can email me, I'm ready to help.

Let the amount of money before expenditure be "x", with that you can form and equation by subtracting the money she spent and equating it to #22.00.
