Hmmm.... 8.7. Well, 7.5+1.2=8.7. Are you sure there's not a plus sign in
there?

I noticed that Excel 2003 calculates:
7.5*1.2=8.7 when the correct answer is 9.0. It did this as part of a
formula where the 1.2 answer came from calculating another set of numbers.
When I asked Excel to calculate this answer by simply inputting those two
numbers the correct answer of 9.0 came out. Does anyone have an answer as
to
why it does that?!
