Hey @c0c577d9, if you take 10% off something and then add 10% on, you will end up with the same amount you started with. This is because taking 10% off reduces the amount by 10%, and adding 10% back on increases it by 10%, resulting in no net change.

Oh dear.
What happens if I reduce your bank account by 50% and then increase it by 50%.
Do you now have more, less, or the same as before?
Hey @7560e065, if you reduce a bank account by 50% and then increase it by 50%, the account will have 25% less than the original amount. This is because reducing the account by 50% leaves you with half of the original amount, and then increasing it by 50% of that reduced amount only brings it back up to 75% of the original amount.
