"back of an envelope" calculation
شخبطة حسابية عاجلة


Explanation:

This is what we call "Quick-and-dirty" calculation that does not require using a calculator or an Excel sheet and may not give a precise result but will produce a "ballpark" quantitative idea that will help clarify the situation. It is the kind of calculation that can be done just by putting pen to paper, but does not require a full page of equations.

عملية حسابية تقديرية سريعة


Explanation:
هي عملية حسابية "على السريع" أو "كروكي" تُجرى على ظهر ورقة (مسودة) للتعرف على الناتج التقريبي لحسبة ما. ليست عملية حسابية فعلية لأنها تعتمد في مدخلاتها على أرقام وهمية وليست فعلية لتفادي استهلاك الوقت، وبالتالي فالناتج يكون رقم تقريبي للرقم الفعلي المراد؛ مثل استخدام "س، ص، إلخ" في العمليات الحسابية.
قد يدبو استخدام ثلاث صفات بعد الاسم قبيحاً، ولذلك من الممكن استبدال "عملية حسابي بكلمة "حساب" للاختصار وتفادي اللغة الركيكة.

Example sentence(s):
  • A back-of-the-envelope calculation uses estimated or rounded numbers to develop a ballpark figure quickly.
  • A back-of-the-envelope calculation is a rough calculation, typically jotted down on any available scrap of paper such as an envelope. It is more than a guess but less than an accurate calculation.
