How this works

Each room answers one problem. A task is a few lines of reading, then questions you answer in the books: post to an account, type a figure, sort, match or write a journal. Every answer is marked at once, with the rule behind it. There are no videos.

Words in this module

Net pay
Net pay is gross pay less deductions: the amount that is paid into the employee's bank.
