1/%

I think it is actually (1/1)*100 ie we are finding percentage ie how much percent is 1 of 1
if we do (1/2)% it comes out to be 50.
and if we dont give any denomenator, the calculator considers it 1 by default
as done in the puzzle..
plz correct me if i am worng.But I think this is how it is done.

the answer given by ES is right.

%means 1/100.

so 1/% is 100.

as from the question we have to press only three buttons to get exactly 100
solution is:
1 .first press button of digit: 1
2. then press button of divide ie.:/
3. then press button of percentile IE: %
you will get 100
explanation % gives 1/100
and when we will divide 1 by 1/100
simply 100 will be multiply by 1
and result will be 100
i hope this will be the correct answer easy to understand
