There are times when prices for commodities are quoted in fractions of a
cent so it's not too pedantic to ask business people for clarification
on something like .50¢ -- again, you would be surprised how many people
don't understand the difference that decimal point makes!!
I suspect that's why calculator makers include a % key.
