Need help with Alchemy math.

ok so i want to pimp out the atk rating of my spear. currently, the atk rating is 0%. However i used strike stones to get atk rating increase 40% (100%). The atk rating right now is 184. So...the base should be 110.4.

My question is how does the atk rating increase granted by the strike stone affect my end atk rating if i start using focus stones.

For example. say i did got 100% atk rating with a focus stone.

does that mean my end atk rating will be

[110.4+(110.4 x 1)] x 1.40 <-- the 40% atk increase = 309.12

or.... would it be

[110.4 + (110.4 x 1.4)] <-- the 40% atk increase is embedded into the base atk rating.= 264.96

so which one is it?

I Highly Doubt attack rating would rise that much but every bit helps

There is a minimum and a maximum. If you look at something's crit you'll understand. At 0% a bow may have crit 2. If your calculations are correct, then at 100% it would have crit 4, and that would suck. It has a minimum and a maximum and the percentages represent where in between the two the final number resides.

OOOOOHH.... I understand now. I was writing this long thing about what I thought you were saying and what I didn't understand. I'm sure others will be confused also, so I'll make it clear. (maybe I'm just out of it )

His attack rating is 184(+0%) and he has a blue: attack rating 40% increase(+100%). His question: If he get's the actual stat's percentage up to 100%, will this increase be a percentage of the already increased value of 184, or the value of 110.4? I'm thinking it will come from the original, lower value. I'm not sure what this number will actually end up being. I'd say around 220 or so.
