currently % behaviour is far from intuitive, we are working on proper implementation which is similar to other calculators

the usage of % operator is counter-intuitive but here is how it works: A%B = C. This usage means "C is B% of A" so if you use 10% alone it makes no sense and the result is undefined. if you want to make equation "substract 10% from 10", then use "10%(100-10)". Anyway i dont see why the result should be 1 instead of 9? Can you explain what would "10-10%" mean to you?

10% of ten is 1, so taking 10% off of 10 leaves you with nine. Please do your maths. If you want x percent of a number, y, divide y by 100 and times it by x.
Hope that helps :D
