If you read this link you find:

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings to SendKeys. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}).

So you have to change your text to be:

SendKeys.SendWait({(}10{%}{)}{+}{(}20{%}{)})

According to the documentation the plus sign, percentage symbol and parentheses have a special meaning in the context of SendKeys. You need to enclose those symbols in curly braces.

SendKeys.SendWait("{(}10{%}{)}{+}{(}20{+}{)}")

You could use the String.Replace method to do the mapping for you, e.g. text.Replace("+", "{+}") etc.
