Re: percentage discount not calculating properly

[Bob Miller <..hidden..>]

Hi Chris:
As it was:
quantity 7, unit price $100.05, discount 15%, extended price $595.28

your test:
quantity 7, unit price $100.050, discount 15%, extended price $595.29.

my calculator says:
7*100.05*.85=595.2975, so I think the correct answer should be
$595.30...
