How to work it out

- Multiply: 0.7 × 7 = 4.9
- Check: Work backwards: 4.9 ÷ 7 × 100 = 70%.

Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 7 by 70% gives 11.9 and decreasing it by 70% gives 2.1. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 3.57, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
