"normal" strength

[The Bearded Tech]

My question may seem a little math heavy, but really wanting to understand fully. In the character creation section of the RUE it says that if the strength gets to 30 it is multiplied by 20 (same carrying as augmented) and for every 5 after that add 30%.. So to get to the point. If I am understanding correctly (as an example) at 35 it maths out to 35*20=700 then 700+30%=910....Here it is finally... A character with ordinary strength (in the rare event) at 40 would that be 700+30%=910 then 910+30%=1183 or is it 700+60%(total)= 1120?

700+30% = 910
910+30% = X
X+30% = Y

Etc etc...

Greetings and Salutations. I asked this question once myself:

The consensus (from what I gathered) is that it would be 700×60%. Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.

Ok... So far it looks like either way is acceptable so varies with the GM. Is this agreed?

I think it'd have to be 60%. To do it as written gives weird results although between English as a second language and Palladium writing, maybe I don't understand the rule.
