178 Appendix A: The Automatic Memory Stack
File name: hp 12c_user's guide_English_HDPMBF12E44 Page: 178 of 209
Printered Date: 2005/7/29 Dimension: 14.8 cm x 21 cm
Keystrokes Display

84,000.
Enters base amount into displayed
X-register.
§
168,000.00
Annual sales after first year.
§
336,000.00
Annual sales after second year.
§
672,000.00
Annual sales after third year.
In the example above, the constant was repeatedly multiplied by the result of the
previous operation, which was already in the displayed X-register. In another class
of calculations with constants, the constant is multiplied by (or added to, etc.) a
new number keyed into the displayed X-register. For these calculations, you must
press
O
before keying in a new number after having pressed an operator key. If
this were not done, the stack would lift when you keyed in a new number after
pressing the operator key, and the Y-register would no longer contain the constant.
(Recall — from page 172 — that the stack does not lift when a number is keyed
into the displayed X-register after
O
is pressed.)
Example:
At Permex Pipes a certain pipe fitting is packaged in quantities of 15,
75, and 250. If the cost per fitting is $4.38, calculate the cost of each package.

described on page 74.
