Question

On December 31, 2020, Ed Abbey Co. performed environmental consulting services for Hayduke Co. Hayduke was short of cash, and Abbey Co. agreed to accept a $200,000 zero-interest-bearing note due December 31, 2022, as payment in full. Hayduke is somewhat of a credit risk and typically borrows funds at a rate of 10%. Abbey is much more creditworthy and has various lines of credit at 6%.

For step 1, why is it worked out 1/1.1 and answer divided by 1.1 to get 0.826446? Can you explain it to me step by step please. It is PV at 10% for end of year 2. I am having trouble understanding the process. Can you please explain it to me?
