Ok thanks - but just to close the loop, I'm going through the 20% more 20% less thing.

If I start with $100.00

I get a 20% increase I will have $120.00

20% decrease from $120.00 is $24.00 so I subtract that, leaving me with $76.00

20% increase from $76.00 is $15.20 so I add that, giving me $91.20

20% decrease from $91.20 is $18.24 so I subtract that, leaving me with $72.96.

If you notice the trend, each time I add a percentage then subtract a percentage, I end up with less overall, so it's really tricky, but each time, all I did was add or subtract 20% from the previous number.

Thanks for the Texas welcome!

Ok, so basically what your saying is I should leave this to the professionals? Lol, I understand now, but I guess math isn't really my thing. You wanna learn to shoot, or skin something, or anything related to beer or pot, you let me know. I owe you one. Thanks man, I'm going to work on my math, I'm sure google has some middle school worksheets I could do.
