ON / C Press this key to turn the calculator on or to clear the display
2nd This key is like a shift key and allows you to use the functions above each key in the
pad
Percent: To find 22% of 110, you can either change 22% to a decimal and then
multiply. Or you can use the percent key (located above the digit "2") as
follows:
Fractions: To do calculations with fractions, use the a
For example, to calculate 2/3 + 1 4/7 , enter the following keystrokes:
2 a
To change a fraction to a decimal, or a decimal to a fraction, use the
F ↔ D function which is located above the ← key.
For example, to change 4/5 to a decimal, enter:
4 a
To change a 0.625 to a fraction, enter:
0.625 2nd ←
