How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1000 ÷ 100 = 10
  2. Multiply: 10 × 20 = 200
  3. Check: Work backwards: 200 ÷ 20 × 100 = 1000%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1000/100 = part/20, so part = 1000 × 20 ÷ 100 = 200. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1000%*20. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

Because 1000% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 20: it is 10 times 20.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 1000% of its $20 cost means selling it for $200.

Adding and taking away 1000%

Increasing 20 by 1000% gives 220. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 1000% and then lowering the result by 1000% ends at -1,980, because the second 1000% is taken of a bigger number.
