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.

I agree with jonmyrlebailey.
Why does the intended behavior contradict a commonly accepted standard
and (what should be) common sense?

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%.

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:
