Solution:
1. Total files: 500
2. Files not processed: 100

3. Calculate the percentage of files not processed:
- Percentage formula: \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100
- Substitute the known values:
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{100}{500}\right) \times 100

4. Simplify:
\text{Percentage} = 0.2 \times 100
\text{Percentage} = 20

5. Therefore, the percentage of files that have not been processed is 20\%.
