i'm looking to find/create a program for the TI-83 that will add 17.% or subtract 17.5% from any number imputed into the calc. does anyone know of a program that does this or would someone be willing to show me to to set it up myself? i've never made any kind of program for a calc before. i know i'm probably asking a lot, so thanks in advance for any reply.
Thanks

prgm:ADDSUB
:Input A
:17.5
:Disp A+Ans,A-Ans
(I use Ans because it saves three bytes)

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

Total Posts: 4 | ok, i've tried entering the program as you have written it above, however it keeps coming up with an error. i've tried adding end to the end of the program as it seemed like a good idea at the time but that hasn't helped either. the only thing i can think of is that i'm getting my 'a' symbol the wrong way. i'm hitting the green 'alpha' button and then hitting the 'math' button to use the letter 'a'. if this is correct, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.
sorry to be such a pest.
also, how do i delete a program once i've made it? |

I'm assuming syntax?
For now put a 0 infront of .175A. I'll play with it at school and let you know latter.
