Part 2 > Q128 : Result value of formula using ‘%’ in Calculator
Q : The Calculator feature of my Galaxy S4 shows the result value of a formula using ‘%’ differently to my Galaxy S3.
Is my device faulty?
A : Your device is not faulty.
For the Galaxy S4, the concept of ‘%’ in the Calculator feature was changed for usability because most users use ‘%’
for the calculation of interest rates.
If you enter '%' in the previous formula including the number, It will be calculated as a '%' of the previous number.
ex : 10% = 0.1
10+10% = 11 (‘%’ is applied to blue marked 10, so the result value 11 is calculated by 10+10*0.1)
(10+10)+10% = 22 (‘%’ is applied to blue marked 20, so 10% is 20*0.1 )
10+(10+10)+10% = 32 (‘%’ is applied to blue marked 20, so 10% is 20*0.1)
