Use doubles instead of floats and you'll get 27.3.

That won't always work because of the way floating point numbers are handled
(this isn't just a Java issue, the same thing happens in C and C++.)  To use
fixed decimal point math, use ints like this:

int a = 271;
int b = 2;
int c = a + b;
double d = c /100d;
