Of course. I gave a very simple example, in order to make it super  
clear how it worked. Obviously the second slash idea would be  
especially more useful with distances than percentages, but even with  
percentages, it is sometimes easier to think of it this way, instead  
of adding 100. This post was really about negative numbers, and how  
useful they can be. The second slash in this example, combined with  
negative numbers, makes it easy to think about the "outside" part in a  
convenient symmetrical way (in this case, 20% on one end and 30% on  
the other).
