How percentage works
The % key divides the current value by 100. When used in an expression like 200 + 15%, it calculates 15% of 200 (= 30) and adds it to 200, giving 230. This matches the behavior of most pocket calculators.
Order of operations
This calculator evaluates expressions from left to right as you chain operations, it does not apply algebraic operator precedence (BODMAS/PEMDAS). To calculate 2 + 3 × 4 with correct multiplication priority, calculate 3 × 4 first, then add 2 to the result.
