    The percent increase can be solve by using the formula:

    F = P (1 + i)

    Where F is the new prize of the sweater

    P was the old prize of the sweater

    i is the fraction increase of the price of the sweater

    22 = 20 (1 + i)

    So i = 0.1

    So the percent increase is 0.1 x100 = 10 %
