The program does not work with percentages. #57

+/- using the percent symbol does not give correct results. Try this: 100-13%. The result will be: 99.87

Yet-Zio commented 1 year ago

@51522 Please multiply the percent value with the total value. For example: 100-13%*100 will give you desired result. Please refer Help to get a clear idea. Percentages work in a more traditional way. By default percentages are calculated in 1.

Hope this solves the issue

Then it is easier to count not as 100 - 13% 100, but as 100 0.87 Thanks for the clarification!

One more thing I wanted to mention is its not required during division/mutliplication. Some users had confusion over that since different calculators use a different method. Think I will update Help.md as well. Glad to know it helped.
