Little late to this, but just to clear this up. Going to use 100 as the equipment load to keep this simple.

100 + (50% of 100) + (20% of 100) + (5% of 100) = 175

That's simple addition, compunding the effects is a little more complicated and drawn out.

100 + (50% of 100) = 150

150 + (20% of 150) = 180

180 + (5% of 180) = 189

So by compounding the effects, they build off of each other and make the end value higher, so you end up with a value of 89% instead of 75%.
