Scratch Pad

• Additional
  • flat additions to the base value
  • sum with each other
• Percent Increased/Reduced the base value
  • Percent change
• Percent More/Less the modified value
  • Applied after increased/reduced

1. Sum all Added and Base values -> 10
2. Sum all Increased into one multiplier -> 1.45
3. Multiply Added/Base total x Increased multiplier ->10x1.45=14.5
4. Multiply by each More separately -> 14.5 x 1.05 x 1.3 x 1.1 = 21.77
5. Multiply by Amplified separately
