<span>20% is the maximum speed up possible for this program.
For this problem, let's assign the time of 1 for the task when using a single processor. Now let's assume that we have an infinite number of processors available to handle the portion of the program that can be executed in parallel so that the execution time for that portion will be 0. That means that the total execution time with an infinite number of processors will be
1 * (0.80 + 0) = 1 * 0.80 = 0.80
So at best, the parallel program will take 80% of the time for the single threaded version. So the speed increase will be
(1 - 0.80) / 1 = 0.20/1 = 0.20 = 20%</span>
