# 3.2. %

Used instead of the = key, % interprets the final operation carried out in the current calculation as follows:

- If the final operator is + or - show the result as a percentage of the final operand.

- If the final operator is * divide the result of the multiplication by 100.

- If the final operator is / give the left operand as a percentage of the right operand.

- If the final operator is x^y give the left operand raised to the power of the (right operand / 100).

- In all other cases the % key gives identical results to the = key.

Examples:

  `11 + 89 %` gives 112.35.. (89 + 11 = 100, and 100 is 112.35 percent of 89)

  `42 * 3 %` gives 1.26 (42 * 3 / 100)

  `45 / 55 %` gives 81.81... (45 is 81.81.. percent of 55)

  `2 / 300 %` gives 8 (2 to the power (300/100))
