let's say your dragon earns 100 gold per minute if there is a positive boost on your island it leaves your dragon making 120 gold per minute then you take 20% away from the total leaving you with your dragon making 96 gold per minute. if you have a calculator you can plug this formula into your calculator.

(dragon gold per minute x 1.2 with the exponent on the 1.2 being equal to the number of positive boosts on the dragon) x 0.8 with the exponent on the 0.8 being equal to the number of negative boosts on the dragon.

for our example above the formula would look like this

( 100 x 1.2) x 0.8
