Equation[edit]

Basic
MAE = REG * NAR + NAE * SNAR + (SNAE + RAE + ROAE) * ROAR + RAE
Expanion
NAE = REG * NAR
SNAE = REG * NAR * SNAR
ROAE = (SNAE + RAE + ROAE) * ROAR
     = ((REG * NAR * SNAR) + RAE + ROAE) * ROAR
     
MAE = REG * NAR + REG * NAR * SNAR + (REG * NAR * SNAR + RAE + (REG * NAR * SNAR + RAE + ROAE) * ROAR) * ROAR + RAE

Goal[edit]

MAE + 2500 = 3706

     MAE = REG * NAR     + REG * NAR     * SNAR    + (REG * NAR     * SNAR    + RAE + (REG * NAR     * SNAR    + RAE + ROAE) * ROAR)   * ROAR   + RAE

New activation rate[edit]

Because NAR and REG are part of the same term, we can do some simple math using results above as a input. 

X = (118405.2 / 32005) * 0.02591
X = 0.09586
Baseline
0.02591
Desired
0.09586
Delta
0.09586 - 0.02591 = 0.06995
Proportional
0.06995 / 0.02591 = 270%
