These electronic calculator gizmos are just a passing fad. I’m sticking with my trusty slide rule. It’s precise to three significant digits (I never needed any more). And batteries are not required!

Had one as a kid.
Loved messing with it. Used it to check my homework

I have 3 very nice slide rules left over from my undergrad days at the big U (early 70s).
They are absolutely not for sale at any price.

Very green solution. My old calculator was powered by a SUV.

I have a Canon HS-1200TS calculator.
I do the following:
The low number is 47 and the high is 120 which is 73 difference.
Take the amount of increase which is 73 and then divide by the low number of 47
That is 1.55 x 100 and you get 155% increase.
My Canon HS-1200TS calculator shows 155.3100
On my Samsung S10 I have an free app called CalculatorPlus that shows:
155.319148936
Which of the 3 is the correct answer?
