The maths involved should be within the grasp of a good proportion of the population.

I disagree. I'm amazed at the number of people who don't know even reasonably basic mathematics, like taking 15% out of a bill or multiplying 17 by 11. A lot of people have a perverse respect for innumeracy that they woundn't dream of having for illiteracy (which is only slightly more important). I think the math alone sinks a lot of people.
