Setting the number of decimal places
When using the Cost/Selling price/Markup and Cost/Selling
price/Margin calculator, you can choose whether the
number of decimal places used in calculations is 0 or 2.
In either Cost/Selling price/Markup or Cost/Selling price/
Margin calculator mode:
1. Press MENU , select DECIMAL POINT SETTINGS
and press ENTER .
2. Select the desired setting and press ENTER .
The desired number of decimal points is applied.

Note that when no decimal points are used (ie.
DECIMAL POINT : 0 is selected), pressing the
decimal point key will have no effect, but any numbers
entered subsequently will be treated as integers. For
example, typing
12.75 will be treated as 1,275, which
will produce a very different calculation result.
