BASIC ARITHMETIC EXAMPLES
Arithmetic
This calculator uses standard chaining logic, which simply means
that you enter your first value, the operator (
+
,
–
,
x
,
÷
), the sec-
ond value and then the equals sign (
=
).
A.
3 + 2 =
5.00
B.
3 – 2 =
1.00
C.
3 x 2 =
6.00
D.
3 ÷ 2 =
1.50
Percent Calculations
The percent
%
key can be used for finding a given percent of a
number or for working add-on, discount or division percentage
calculations.
A.
8 0 0 x 2 5 % =
200.00
B.
2 5 0 + 1 0 % =
275.00
C.
2 5
– 5 0 % =
12.50
D.
2 0 0 ÷ 5 0 % =
400.00
The Percent
%
key has special applications for real estate profes-
sionals — especially when figuring a commission amount.
Percent Change
If a home’s value increased from $315,000 (Present Value) to
$350,000 (Future Value), what is the percent increase?
STEPS
KEYSTROKES
DISPLAY
Subtract appreciated value
from the Present Value
3 5 0 ) – 3 1 5 ) =
35,000.00
Divide the difference by
the Present Value
÷ 3 1 5 ) =
0.11
Calculate % increase
x 1 0 0 =
11.11
(or 11.1%)
