Working an order in the market

Hi,

I've got a simple question about equities trading. When you receive a client order, you may work it in the market as a % of volume. For example, you may work a 1,000,000 shares order for Vodafone at 20% of the volume from 12:00PM on Monday.

If I wanted to calculate the theoretical VWAP for that, how would I do it?

Please let me know if my question is not clear.
