It's simple algebra:
image1 = imread('cameraman.tif');
minValue = double(min(image1(:)))
maxValue = double(max(image1(:)))
slope = (255 - minValue)/100
v = 100; % Whatever you want in the range 0-100.
amountToAdd = slope * v
image2 = uint8(image1 + amountToAdd);
imshow(image2);
newMinValue = double(min(image2(:)))
newMaxValue = double(max(image2(:)))
