The Common Lisp answer is 0.3 and not 0.30000000000000004 because those are single float literals: for double float literals, we have (+ 0.1d0 0.2d0) => 0.30000000000000004d0.
I would imagine this is the case for several of the other examples, too.

a) specify the default format, as above
b) or use s, f, d, and l to specify the format (short float, single float, double-float, long-float). Example 1.0s0, 1.0f0, 1.0d0, 1.0l0
