Yes, ChatGPT can do basic calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division pretty well. For example, it can quickly tell you that 25 times 4 is 100.
I've used ChatGPT to calculate some percentages and it worked well. But sometimes for very detailed or multi-step problems, it might make mistakes or give approximate answers.
