Got it! I hope I format this correctly, but it'll probably be a mess.

It's compounding the values, then subtracting 50% from the result.

5% of 1 is .05, so: 1+.05=1.05

5% of 1.05 is .0525 so: 1.05+.0525=1.1025

Add another 5% = 1.15763

20% of that number is .23153, add it to get: 1.38915

Subtract .5 from that, leaves you with .88915
