i want to make 500 by using my calculator, but the 5 key ,the + key and the - key are broken. how can i use my calculator to do this task.

Question

five ways to solve the question.

Answer 1

One thousand divided by two equal

Answer 2

1000/2 is one very easy way.  But the real answer is, get a new calculator!  You can get a simple calculator as cheap as a buck (at a Dollar Tree or someplace similar).  Why waste your time fooling around with one with broken keys?

Answer 3

600/1.2     800/1.6     1200/2.4   1800/3.6    2400/4.8  ......

Answer 4

6000/12, 7000/14, 8000/16, 9000/18 and so on just skip numbers with 5. Also

 10/.02 , 1/.002 , .1/.0002 and so on

Answer 5

You also could enter 10, divide.

Then 2, percent.

Then divide.

With Daniel O.'s four, that makes five.

 

Answer 6

You could enter 1000/2 which equals 500

2000/4 = 500

3000/6 = 500

4000/8 = 500

Can you find one more?

Answer 7

One quick way could be to multiply 100 by 5. Or you could multiply 50 by 10. What other ways could you think of?
