How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 175 ÷ 100 = 1.75
  2. Multiply: 1.75 × 20 = 35
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35 ÷ 20 × 100 = 175%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 175/100 = part/20, so part = 175 × 20 ÷ 100 = 35. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =175%*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 175% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 20: it is 1.75 times 20.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 175% of its $20 cost means selling it for $35.

Adding and taking away 175%

Increasing 20 by 175% gives 55. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 175% and then lowering the result by 175% ends at -41.25, because the second 175% is taken of a bigger number.
