How to work it out

- Check: Work backwards: 1.1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 22%.

Adding and taking away 22%
Increasing 5 by 22% gives 6.1 and decreasing it by 22% gives 3.9. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 4.758, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
