Sleeper, I'm not talking 2+2 here.
Here's another example, straight off the homework:
Corner Diner:
Tuna special - $4.89
Beef Sandwich - $6.75
Sodas - $2.25
Subtotal $13.89
4% tax $0.56
Total $14.45
Follow these keystrokes slowly and watch your display:
(clear) 4.89 + 6.75 + 2.25 x 4 % + = 14.4456
On my calculator if you use those keystrokes you get: 5.27
What do you get?
