Percent (%) Key

The automatic percentage function enables you to perform single percentage calculations, mark-up calculations, ratios, and percentages of a constant. Note: Before using the Percent (%) key, press the A/F key to place the calculator in the floating decimal mode (AM symbol should not appear in display).

For example, to find 5% of 115:

1.Enter the number 115.

2.Press the Multiplication (x) key.

3.Enter the number 5.

4.Press the Percent (%) key.

5.The answer $5.75 will display.

6.Press CE/C when you are finished.

Using Constants

The Checkbook Calculator’s Constant function enables you to make repetitive calculations using the same number each time without reentering that number for each calculation.

Using Constants in Multiplication and Division

The first number entered in a multiplication problem (multiplicand) and the second number of a division problem (divisor) automatically become constant. The constant is not erased until the multiplication or division key is pressed again. Therefore, the constant number can be recalled by pressing the equal key for further calculation without being input again.

Note: Before using the constant function, press the A/F key to place the calculator in the floating decimal mode (AM symbol should not appear in display).

For example, when you have to multiply many numbers by one constant number:

3 x 3

3 x 4

3 x 5

3 x 6

1.Enter the number 3.

2.Press the Multiplication (x) key.

3.Enter the number 3 again, then press the Equal (=) key. The answer 9 will display.
