Testing with Fb/1.5.2 SS [WI-V6.3.2.4731 Firebird 1.5] (dialect 3):

1.
select (109.87 - 5*109.87/100) from rdb$database
= 104.38
2a.
select (109.87 - 5*(109.87/100)) from rdb$database
= 104.42
2b.
select cast((109.87 - 5*(109.87/100.00)) as decimal(9,2))
from rdb$database
= 104,38
3.
select (109.87 - (5*109.87)/100) from rdb$database
= 104.38
