[Bug 268934] Re: Calculator does not compute percentages correctly
While this may be the intended behavior, it is incorrect. I have two different models of TI calculators here that give the correct answer. This should be placed back on the bug list if it has been removed. The application's answers should match standard pocket calculators. -- Calculator does not compute percentages correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with jonmyrlebailey. Why does the intended behavior contradict a commonly accepted standard and (what should be) common sense? -- Calculator does not compute percentages correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

jonmyrlebailey, I have confirmed this bug to be valid.

[Bug 268934] Re: Calculator does not compute percentages correctly
Based on the calculator documentation, I think this is the intended behavior. The percentage operator divides the value by 100, it's not a unit. For example, the operation 100 * 50% should return 50 (as it does), not 5000%. ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Calculator does not compute percentages correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 268934] Re: Calculator does not compute percentages correctly
so what the calculator is doing is converting the percent value entry to a decimal equivalent then operating with it for example, 50% =0.50 in decimal form 100-50%(0.50)=99.5 most other calculators take a percentage of an initial inputed number then work with it in the arithmetical expression: this is the implied- percentage logic as 100 - 50% (that is automatically take 50% of 100 which is 50)=50 I like the way the Microsoft Windows calculator operates with percentages better. -- Calculator does not compute percentages correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
