Using TopCalculette Pro <http://www.rubensoft.com/Main_US.html>

127 + 15% = 146.05 

It gives you 146.05 after you hit the % key and doesn't change after you
hit the = key. Looks like different calculator makers do things
differently and there may be no "right" way. You just have to get used
to the way the calculator you are using works.
