    let us assume the number is 100.. if it is multiplied by '5' we will get 500 as a result... and by dividing the number by '5' we will get 20 as a result.. so actual answer is 20 but by mistake we got 500 so the difference is 480 so 480 is what percent of 20.. so 480/20*100= 2400%........... this is the answer.........
