Re: possibly OT:working percentages on the calculater

2011-10-20 Thread Chris Blouch
I don't think there is a percent key on the calculator. What are you 
trying to calculate? So if you were doing something like sales tax of 5% 
on a purchase of $500 you could just do 500 * 1.05 to find out the final 
amount. Is that what you need?

earlier, when I went to work out 513+5.13% I found that the percent

it in:


5.13+5.13%
but the percent sign doesn't work.  So, I tried 5.13/3.6  Can't figure 
out what I'm doing wrong here.  Either it's an issue with the 
couculater or it's the way I'm trying to work the problem.  Any advice?

There *is* a percent key on the calculator!  You have to put in scientific 
mode.  At least it's there in 10.6.8.

Ahh, you're right. Missed it somehow. Command 2 for scientific mode, 
command 3 for programmer.

Switch to scientific view and the Shift 5 will work for entering percent.
