When adding nubers that have more than 2 decimal points i.e. calculating sales tax my T68i adds a 0 to the right of the decimal point
e.g. (82.00 + 4.76625 = 86.076625) That is the incorrect answer my t68i gives. The correct answer is 86.76625 is this a normal occurence or did my t68i not go to the correct primary school when growing up.
I have treid this with numerous number combinations and numerous different equations allways with the same result.Whats Up With That

yes, i tried it on mine (T68m i-mified, R2E006) and does screw up your numbers when the two zeroes to the right of the decimal point is added. however, i tried 81.00 + 0.01 and gave me 81.01 which is correct, also 81.01 + 0.01 resulted in 82.02, but 81.00 + 1.1 resulted in 82.01 darn!
the way to avoid this bug is
do not enter zeroes to the right of the decimal if the number is a whole number anyway
it gave a correct answer when asked for 81.0001 + 1.001 which is 82.0011

The problem is when you are calculating sales tax you will rip yourself of by up to .90 cents per transaction and not to mention if you are going to be doing any space travel calculations are extremly critical.Being of by a tenth could be the diference between Alpha Centauri and the surface of the sun.

As Hard as the numbers try, They cannot all be whole numbers.

@Picasosz, what i meant is that if the number is 81 for example, enter it as 81 and the T68 produces the correct result. Enter it as 81.00 and you'll get the bug as mentioned. So there is no point in entering .00 if it's whole number such as 81, right?
81.00 + 4.7 = 85.07
81 + 4.7 = 85.7
It does produce the correct result with 0.0000012 + 0.0000012 = 0.0000024
