Sure, but 25 + 10% = 27.5 for:

- Soulver, according to the screenshots (and the goal of this project seems to match Soulver's behavior),

- the calculator on my phone,

- KRunner, the launcher in KDE, and KCalc, its calculator

- gcalc, the Gnome calculator

- qalc, that shows "25 * (110 * percent) = 27,5".

- The TI-106 solar calculator that I happen to have [1].

Thinking about it, we are probably talking about some kind of "+ %" operator, where x + y % = x + x × y / 100.

Interestingly, 10% = 0 for the TI-106 (but 25*10% = 2.5). % alone does not seem to mean anything for it.

This little calculator will probably outlive me.
