Here is a better example:

on mouseUp
   put "235.00" into var
   repeat for 100 times
     put var + "0.01" into var
   end repeat
   Put var && (var = "236.00") into field "Report"
end mouseUp

This puts "236 false" into the field.

This works as hoped (for cent arithmetic):

on mouseUp
   put "235.00" into var
   repeat for 100 times
     put round(var + "0.01",2) into var
   end repeat
   Put var && (var = "236.00") into field "Report"
end mouseUp
