How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 425 ÷ 100 = 4.25
  2. Multiply: 4.25 × 20 = 85
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85 ÷ 20 × 100 = 425%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 425/100 = part/20, so part = 425 × 20 ÷ 100 = 85. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =425%*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 425% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 20: it is 4.25 times 20.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 425% of its $20 cost means selling it for $85.

Adding and taking away 425%

Increasing 20 by 425% gives 105. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 425% and then lowering the result by 425% ends at -341.25, because the second 425% is taken of a bigger number.
