Message You took measured hp, and added 18% of itself to get crank power.

measured + 18 * (measured) = crank power
1.18 * measured = crank power

You really need to subract 18% of crank power from crank power, to get to measured.

crank power - .18 * (crank power) = measured
.82 * (crank power) = measured
crank power = measured / .82

adding 10 percent to 100 is 110, but subracting 10 percent from 110 is 99. ;)
