If you just want to increase 15.99 by 30%.......try this.....

 

15.99 * 1.3          ..... it should give you  20.787

Some calculators thinks 30% = 0.30. 

 

When you do "15.99 + 30%" the calculator thinks "15.99 + 0.30"

I agree. That is weird.

But CPhill and guest are both correct

Some nimber plus 30% is ambiguous.  30 % of what?

 

If you want 15.99 + 30% of 15.99

Then ypu should have tje skill to enter this as. 15.99 + 0.30×15.99
