10 is what percentage of 65? If I enter 10/65% the calculator gives me .65. (And I cannot figure out how to put a space in between me and 65 without going back and editing it). This happens a lot. The correct answer is 15.38%. I cannot get the calculator to come up with the right answer no matter how I try it.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
I think the % key in the Calculator is there for calculating sales tax:
20 + 5% = 21
That's how the % key works on many basic calculators. If I type that into the Calculator apps on my iPhone and Mac, the display changes to 1 (5% of 20) when I press the "%" key … and the total comes out as 21.
The designers probably did not think of giving the key behavior that would make it useful in other contexts.
The equation would be 10/0.65 = 15.385
or
10/65 = 0.15385
Are you looking to have the calculator display the answer as a percentage, rather than as a decimal? Or something else?
