Numbers and symbols that show how to work something out.

Example:
The formula for finding the volume of a box is "V = w × d × h"

(V stands for volume, w for width, d for depth and h for height.
If w=4, d=5 and h=10, then V = 4×5×10 = 200.)

It is a special type of equation that shows the relationship between different variables.
