Research direction

The issue names no file, so begin by finding where the Kotlin source evaluates division followed by multiplication, and reproduce the two steps (100÷3, then ×3) on the app. Confirm whether the fix belongs in the arithmetic itself or in how the result is rounded for display, since the maintainers have not said which. Done means the sequence shows 100 and the change is covered by a test.
