    Just being discreet: If you're a fifth grader, moderators will probably have to remove your account because it's against StackExchange's terms of service to have a person younger than 13 on their site. – Andrew Li Mar 26 '18 at 04:09

  • tl;dr if you're concerned about the age of a user you can use the SE contact form to get in touch with staff, though you are under no obligation to do so. – Alexander Gruber Mar 26 '18 at 05:45

When you say “$10\%$ above $n$,” it is the number $n+ \frac{10}{100}\times n=1.1\times n$ (note that $\frac{10}{100}\times n$ is $10\%$ of $n$). Similarly, $10\%$ below $n$ is $n-\frac{10}{100}\times n=0.9\times n$.

To calculate a $10$% increase, multiply by $1.1$ ($110$%). To calculate a $10$% decrease, multiply by $.9$ ($90$%).

The makes sense. If you want to add $10$% you multiply by $1+\frac{1}{10}$. If you want to subtract $10$% you multiply by $1-\frac{1}{10}$.

First, calculate $10$% of $10$. This is $0.10(10) = 1$. So, $10$% of $10$ is $1$.

Now, $10%$ above $10$ is just $10 + 1 = 11$. And $10$% below $10$ is just $10 - 1 = 9$.
