    FAQ

    What is 20% more than 500?

    20% more than 500 is 600

    What is 500 plus 20 percent?

    500 plus 20 percent is 600

    How much is 20% of 500?

    20% of 500 is 100 — that is the increase itself, and adding it to 500 gives 600.

    Why does taking 20% off 600 not bring you back to 500?

    Because the second percentage is measured against the larger number: 20% of 500 is 100, while 20% of 600 is more than that. To undo the increase, divide by 1.2 instead of subtracting 20%.

    What do you multiply 500 by to add 20%?

    By 1.2: 500 × 1.2 = 600 — 100% of 500 plus 20%.
