How should i work on increasing calculation speed specially percentage's as IR questions are there.

For example there is a calculation:

0.95R > 100,000

then R > ?

How'll you calculate the above ?

Divide both sides by .95 and you get R > 100,000/.95.

The IR section has a calculator you can use. When you plug it in you get R > 105,263. That's like 20 seconds between the algebra and poking at the calculator.
