Memorization is the only "trick" I know of for counting. When calculating in my head, I find it's usually faster to do more easier steps rather than fewer harder steps. And take advantage of things you already know. For instance, for 83 * 7, I would multiply first 80 * 7, then 3 * 7 and add them together. Or for 25 * 6, I happen to already know that 53 = 125. So I would just add 125 + 25. Things like that. You can probably find tips for fast calculation at other places on the internet.mouse said:howdy,

To become a successful bank teller, you need to have strong math skills in areas such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You should also have a good understanding of percentages, fractions, and decimals.
Bank tellers use basic arithmetic skills to count and handle cash transactions, calculate interest rates, and balance their cash drawer at the end of each day. They also use these skills to assist customers with deposit and withdrawal transactions.
Aside from basic arithmetic, bank tellers should also have a good understanding of financial math, such as computing interest and handling loans. They may also need to use algebraic equations to solve complex financial problems for customers.
While advanced math skills may not be required for all bank teller roles, having a strong foundation in math is essential for success in this career. Some bank tellers may also need to use more advanced math concepts, such as statistics, when working with financial data.
If you are interested in becoming a bank teller, you can improve your math skills by practicing basic arithmetic, studying financial math concepts, and taking courses in math and accounting. You can also seek out opportunities to gain experience in handling cash and financial transactions, such as through internships or part-time jobs.
