Fix the test

## Summary of the Pull Request
The ExprTk result was previously parsed with CurrentCulture, which means
that calculator was broken on every device which's culture info differed
from what ExprTk returns.
It would probably be better to just obtain the result as a double
directly, but that can wait.
## PR Checklist
- [x] **Closes:** #40305
- [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [x] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized
- [x] **Dev docs:** No need
- [x] **New binaries:** None
- [x] **Documentation updated:** No need

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
ExprTk, the math library that CmdPal's Calculator uses, returns the
result as a string formatted in `en-US`, therefore we need to also parse
it as `en-US`.
## Validation Steps Performed
Small and large numbers work correctly with all decimal separators

+# C++/WinRT CalculatorEngine Project Overview
+
+This project wraps the exprtk expression parsing library with a C++/WinRT component,  
+making advanced mathematical evaluation capabilities available to Windows applications.  
+It is designed specifically to provide calculation support for the CmdPal calculator extension.
+
+## Using exprtk
+
+This project uses [exprtk](https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk) as the 
+expression parsing and evaluation engine.
+
+How to use exprtk in this project:
+- The exprtk header file (`exprtk.hpp`) is included in the project source.
+- You can use exprtk to parse and evaluate mathematical expressions in your 
+  C++ code. For example:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #include "exprtk.hpp"
+    exprtk::expression<double> expression;
+    exprtk::parser<double> parser;
+    std::string formula = "3 + 4 * 2";
+    parser.compile(formula, expression);
+    double result = expression.value();
+    ```
+
+How to update exprtk:
+1. Download the latest `exprtk.hpp` from the [official repository](https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk).
+2. Replace the existing `exprtk.hpp` file in the project with the new version.
+3. Rebuild the project to ensure compatibility and take advantage of any updates.
