echo "\n";
echo var_export((110 / (100 - 50) * 100) == 220);
echo "\n";
echo ceil(110 / (100 - 50) * 100);

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
