Simply fantastic. XD
Eah. Welcome to EVE, where Machiavelli would be called a carebear and Stalin a noob.
You almost always get the correct answer you're looking for on the S&M forum, it just usually comes with a withering barrage of insults. Thick skin required.

It seems that you have also fallen for a common mistake: a +300% bonus is calculated my multiplying the original value by four, not three. so you get 20km * 4 = 80km.
Dear lord. This is by far the bestest version of incorrect math interpretation that I've seen for a long time 
Whether it's correct or incorrect, it's how the game works...
But to be completely honest, I forget to add the base value again after the multiplier pretty often too. (The first time I bothered, I calculated the max skill Noctis range as 60KM. Whoops.)

Why causes you to put those apostrophes there? Also, you failed to answer what's actually wrong with itא
Nothing really, but the choice for the variable may have tripped him up ('x' for the variable as well as the multiplication sign). Contrast with:
+y% = x(1+0.01y)
Or if you want an equation in game terms:
final stat = base stat (1+0.01*bonus value*rank)
Eah. If he's disputing that those things are equivalent, he should be capable of typing something better...

and who says a public education isn't worth something these days!!
Haha, well, you learn what's useful to you. This game has a stupid amount of numbers that need to get tossed around just to figure out how you can best make someone else go explodey.
It's kind of like how most US citizens couldn't convert a pound to a kilo to save their lives, while drug dealers tend to be pretty good with the metric system.

Man I think it's running about 1500 pounds per kilo right now.
That's some dank ****. 
ED: Wait. Divided by 16oz instead of 35oz for a kg. Dammit, why must I be the perfect example of my own statement!
