Wikipedia is your friend. Check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_ratio

especially the section entitled "Effects on money supply"

Just as an aside, note that if one can create $1000, one can also create $100, so the question is fundamentally flawed as $100 is always a correct answer, even if it isn't the desired answer.
