Not trying to be smart, but I did forget to do the adding up, which does come to 109%.

I went and looked it up in the engine manual, and it is correct; the additional 9% is negative thrust (drag) caused by the intakes.

So the actual thrust from the intakes is 12%, but in real terms they generate 21%.
