4. Calculate a Tip

How many times have a group of your coworkers struggled to figure out how much everyone should pay for the group meal? Well, you do not have to deal with this problem anymore. You can simply google the words “tip calculator” and you will be on your way to an easier bill paying process. You will be able to enter the full cost of the meal, the percentage of the tip, and how many people are part of the group.

5. Sharpen Your Math Skills

While you may not be the best at math, Google certainly knows quite a bit about math. You can use Google for simple arithmetic and you can use Google for advanced mathematics. If you want to use a quick calculator, you can simply search: ‘Google calculator”.

6. Track a Flight

Have you ever been responsible for greeting someone at an airport and picking them up? If the person is still high above the ground, how are you supposed to know when and where you should arrive at the airport? Well, if you have the person’s flight number, you can easily discover when you need to arrive because Google will tell you.

7. Get a Weather Report

If you only watch a news channel because you only want to receive the weather report, you can save time by asking Google. You can type in “weather” and your zip code or city, and you will receive the current weather condition.
