How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 275 ÷ 100 = 2.75
  2. Multiply: 2.75 × 20 = 55
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55 ÷ 20 × 100 = 275%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 275/100 = part/20, so part = 275 × 20 ÷ 100 = 55. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =275%*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 275% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 20: it is 2.75 times 20.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 275% of its $20 cost means selling it for $55.

Adding and taking away 275%

Increasing 20 by 275% gives 75. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 275% and then lowering the result by 275% ends at -131.25, because the second 275% is taken of a bigger number.
