[QUOTE="Mplayers2006, post: 5458679, member: 100002"] Maybe someone else can give a better example, but it relates to algebra. It’s like 2x+2y does not equal 4xy. Or like two apples and two oranges does not equal 4 apples and oranges. X and y are independent of one another. Same case here. The two percentages are not based on one another, therefore, they are not related. You can’t simply take 7% from 17% and add it to a unrelated number else where and expect the end result to be “balanced”. Old salary 100k at 17% = 117k (total compensation) 100k at 10%= 110k (total compensation) The difference=7k New salary 107k at 10%= 117,700 salary (total compensation) 117,700 does not equal 117k As you can see the two total compensation numbers are not equal (1:1) which mathematically shows it is not a simple 7% increase, but less than 7%. Again, this is due to 10% of [B]107k[/B] does not equal 17% of [B]100k[/B]. [/QUOTE]
