The four basic operators. Each is used in the same way as a standard
calculator:
+ (addition), – (subtraction), x (multiplication), and ÷ (division).
Used to specify calculations in which certain operations have precedence.
You can make addition and subtraction operations have precedence over
multiplication and division by enclosing them in parentheses. Finds the result in the same way as a standard calculator.

For calculating percentages. Four methods of calculating percentages
are presented as follows.
1) $125 increased by 10%…137.5
2) $125 reduced by 20%…100
3) 15% of $125…18.75
4) When $125 equals 5% of X, X equals…2500

Permutations, Combinations
This function finds the number of different possible orderings in selecting
r objects from a set of n objects. For example, there are six different
ways of ordering the letters ABC in groups of three letters—ABC, ACB,
BAC, BCA, CAB, and CBA.
The calculation equation is 
3P3 = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6 (ways).
This function finds the number of ways of selecting r objects from a set of
n objects. For example, from the three letters ABC, there are three ways
we can...
