Zegarelli and Fanning focus on critical concepts taught in a typical pre-algebra course in order to help you cram for an exam, or as a reference for parents and tutors helping with homework. From fractions, decimals and percents to solving word problems, the authors explain formulas, provide helpful tips, and help you understand graphs and charts so that you can ace that class-- or just satisfy your own need to understand pre-algebra. -- adapted from back cover
