If the value of a percentage of a number is less than 100%, then the percentage will be smaller than the original number. If the value of the percentage is 100%, then the percentage will be equal to the original number. If the value of the percentage is greater than 100%, the percentage will be greater than the original number.
Hope that helped! =)
