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.
