Alright, Haw asked

"If I were to say that 10*(10/100)=1, would the answer be correct?"

I say yes, but it CAN be a lie if interpreted correctly ;)

The slash is what I will be using to make my lie.

"It's an alternative notation for minus, used in accounting. There are several benefits from using -/- instead of - For example: It's easier to read if you use a formula with words in it. Tax-Cost could be a contraction of two words, Tax-/-Cost can only be a subtraction.It avoids confusion with zero values displayed as dashes. When working with currency values, zero dollars is often written as "$ - " instead of "$ 0.00"." --Found it somewhere on the internet :P

10 x (10 - 100) = -900.

Therefore, when I say "yes", I'm lying.
