Basic addition is dropping a tiny fraction when adding together certain numbers. We have discovered that when adding together the numbers 8.95 and 0.95 we get an incorrect answer, that is off by a tiny fraction. This doesn't occur when adding 7.95 and 0.95 but occurs for 8.95 and above. We have attached a file showing our calculations failing on Python 2.7 (on both a Mac and Linux system) and 3.5 (on a Linux system).
