$10\% \to \frac{11}{10} \\ \\ 10 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 11 \\ 10 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 11 \\ 10\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 11 \\ \red{ \overline{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }} \\ 1000\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 1331 \\ 1 \times 2\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 1 \times 2 \\ 2000\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 2662$

Hence, 2000 is Answer.
