Those covered numbers are all you need.First add 15 + 3 = 18Add a zero behind it (multiply by 10) to get 180.Multiply the covered lower 3 x the single digit above it the "5" (3x5= 15)Add 180 + 15 = 195.Source :- <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/me/marmalade/mathtips.html" target="_blank">http://www.angelfire.com/me/marmalade/mathtips.html</a></blockquote>
