What does this expression mean? From sixth century?

Question

In my book it said he wanted, “one per cent of such actual increase of revenue over and above its present amount.”

what does that mean???

Answer 1

I would take it as such:

Start at the end to find what you need.

The present amount is X

If it should increase past X in reality (not in say projected or unadjusted sums), then he would also get 1% of that increase.

So if the current revenue was $100 dollars per month, and on the next month it was $101, he would get his cut of that $101 based on the original agreement, plus 1% (one cent) of that extra $1.

Answer 2

YO YO YO YO YO!

:D

Answer 3

extra words to say 1% of the total

example 1% of 300 is 3 so the total would be 303
