The Equation Solver 

The Equation Solver (the SOLVE menu) stores equations that you enter 
and creates menus for them. You can then use those menus to do 
calculations. Enter Solver equations in algebraic form regardless of the 
calculation mode (ALG or RPN). 
 
The Solver can store many equations—the number and length of 
equations is limited only by the amount of memory available. The 
equations are stored in a list

Solver Example: Sales Forecasts 

Suppose part of your job includes making sales forecasts, and that these 
forecasts are revised based on new information. For instance,  
 
„  A change in the price of the product will affect sales by a forecasted 

percentage, A%. 

„ A change in sales-force training will affect sales by a forecasted 

percentage, B%. 

„ A competitor’s new product will affect sales by a forecasted 

percentage, C%.
