The gross is not "reduced" by deductions any more than a liter of milk is "reduced" by spilling some. A liter is a liter. I get now what you're trying to say, but that terminology is dubious to begin with and, importantly here, makes it unnecessarily confusing to discuss how changing one variable affects the others--or doesn't.
