PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS ( 0" ) Two percent calculation keys are provided on the EL-733A: El (percent) and WY4 (percentage difference). These functions are handy for calculating quick percentages and percentage increases and decreases. Look at a couple examples: Example: What is 7% of 66? Solution: 66 0 7 El Result: 4.62 Example: Calculate 24.99 + 6%. Solution: 24.99 0 6 El Result: 26.49 Example: Decrease 24'000 by 16%. Solution: 24'000 H 16 el Result: 20160.00 El Generally H , or 0 the , keys key is used in conjunction for calculations similar to with the the ones ri, just shown. It can also be used in conjunction with the 0 key where it is essentially the same as pressing El 100 E. Example: What is 6'599'975'227 4%? Solution: 6'599'975'227 E) 4 El Result: 1.65 11 If the notation of the result (scientific notation) is confusing, you may want to review page 8. This notation is used to represent very large numbers in the display. Also, if you don't understand the apostrophe that appears in the display, review page 8. Notice that in the above solution, you can replace the El key with 0 100 E, and you will get the same result. As a business person, you may rarely use El with El . The WAI key is always used in conjuction with the El key. If you wish to know the percent increase or decrease between two numbers, start the calculation as if you are just taking the difference (subtracting), but instead of pressing the [H key to complete the calculation, press (2ndFj Example: Sales in your company were $75'000.00 during it's first year of operation. The second year sales were $1161000.00. Second year sales were what percent greater than first year sales? Solution: 116'000 H 75'000 2ndF kriol Result: 54.67 This result tells you that sales for the second year were up 54.67% over the sales of the first year. The percentage difference is calculated with the sales of the first year as the base for the percentage calculation. Pressing the 4% key, tells the calculator to perform the operation between the two numbers you just entered, to divide by the second number you entered, and then to multiply by 100. When the operation between the two numbers that you enter is , the result of pressing 2ndF 44°A1 is the percentage increase or decrease between the two numbers (a decrease will be displayed as a negative). If you use WA in conjunction with the operations M , n , or [H, it works through the formula described in the first sentence of this paragraph, but the meaning of the result is not as clearcut.
