When I do 100 + 10%, it gives me 100.1 instead of 110.

More examples of that the Keyboard Pro. calculator is giving me:

40 - 25% = 39.75 (instead of the correct answer, 30)

40 + 25% = 40.25 (instead of the correct answer, 50)


Is there a fix?
You can't be serious. Look over your numbers. ANY calculator is going to give you the answers you've described because those are the RIGHT numbers.

Multiplying a number by a percentage (less than 1 whole number, i.e. 50% of 25%) always will be less?

100 x 25% = 25. (100 * .25) = 25
