The answer is $100%$ .

First, we have to calculate how much the number has increased

$"increase" = 40-20=20$

$20$ is the increase in the original number. So we can calculate the percent change by using the formula

$"% change" = "Increase or decrease in no"/"orignal no" xx 100%$

So

$"% change" = 20/20 xx100%=100%$

The answer is $100%$ .
