Five different final exam calculators gave me five different answers

So maybe I'm a little neurotic, but I decided to use three different final exam calculators to figure out what I need on my history final, just to be sure. I used the first one: need an 82%. Cool, doable. Second one: need a 79%. Even better! Third one: need a 91%. Wait, what? How is that possible? I checked my inputs, and I swear I put the same numbers in all three. My current grade, the final exam weight, my desired grade. How can simple arithmetic be so subjective?

I spent the next hour trying to find a fourth calculator to break the tie, but by then I was just more confused and anxious than when I started. I finally found one from a reputable university website and decided to trust that one. But seriously, has anyone else experienced this? It's like asking three different GPS apps for directions and one tells you to drive into the ocean.

Which calculator is the one true calculator?
