They are all grammatically correct.
As often the case in this sort of question, each phrasing has an extremely slight hint of some implied difference. For example "comes out to" implies a bit more hard work doing the maths to reach the result than "comes to". I guess "comes out at" imples a slight hint of hidden/unexpected result (as if nobody knew what was coming).
