5. Bedryfsinstruksies
Basiese rekenkundige bewerkings:
Enter numbers and use the standard arithmetic keys (+, -, ×, ÷) followed by the equals key (=) to perform calculations.
- Byvoeging: [Number 1] [+] [Number 2] [=]
- Aftrekking: [Number 1] [-] [Number 2] [=]
- Vermenigvuldiging: [Number 1] [×] [Number 2] [=]
- Afdeling: [Number 1] [÷] [Number 2] [=]
Clear Functions:
- [CA/C] (All Clear): Clears all entries and memory, resetting the calculator.
- [CE] (Clear Entry): Clears the last entered number or the current calculation result without affecting previous entries or memory.
Percenttage Berekening:
Om persent te berekentages, use the [%] sleutel.
- Example: Calculate 15% of 200.
Voer in [200] [×] [15] [%]. The result will be 30. - Example: Add 15% to 200.
Voer in [200] [+] [15] [%]. The result will be 230.
Belastingberekening:
The calculator features dedicated keys for tax calculations. First, set the tax rate.
- Setting the Tax Rate:
Enter the tax rate (e.g., [8] for 8%). Press [RATE SET]. The tax rate is now stored. - Adding Tax:

Geheue funksies:
The 4-key memory allows you to store and recall values.
- [M+] (Memory Plus): Voeg die vertoonde waarde by die geheue.
- [M-] (Memory Minus): Trek die vertoonde waarde van die geheue af.
- [RM] (Recall Memory): Displays the value currently stored in memory.
- [CM] (Clear Memory): Clears the memory content. (Often combined with RM, pressing RM twice clears memory).
Vierkantwortelberekening:
To calculate the square root of a number, enter the number and then press the [√] sleutel.
- Example: Calculate the square root of 81.
Voer in [81] [√]. The result will be 9.
