That's not very helpful, is it?

"med avdrag av" = "with deduction of ...", i.e. "subtracting..."

Cf., for example:

http://lifestyle-and-education.org/villkor.html

"Andra godkända felfria returer krediteras med avdrag av 20%."

'piska' "whip" is another name for the character in question. (U+2052)
