quizFAQexpand_more
How do I calculate sales tax or add a percentage?expand_more
Enter the price, press +, enter the tax percentage, press %, then =. For example: 35.25 + 7.5% = gives 37.89. The calculator automatically computes 7.5% of 35.25 (2.64) and adds it.

How do memory functions work?expand_more
MC clears memory. MR recalls the stored value. M+ adds the display to memory. M− subtracts from memory. An 'M' indicator shows when memory holds a value. Use memory for multi-step calculations.
How do I calculate powers like 2⁶?expand_more
Enter the base number, press ×, then press = repeatedly. Each = multiplies by the base again. For 2⁶: press 2 × = = = = = (five times) to get 64.
What's the difference between CE and AC?expand_more
CE (Clear Entry) clears only the current number you're typing, keeping the previous calculation. AC (All Clear) resets the entire calculator, clearing everything including pending operations.
