When a percent is "more than," (add) that percent to 100% before finding the percent of a number: True.

In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, a percentage is any number that is expressed as a fraction of hundred (100). This ultimately implies that, a percentage indicates the hundredth parts of any given number.

Generally speaking, when a percent is more than, you should add that percent to 100% before finding the percent of a number. For instance, 50% more than an original price of $200 is given by;

New price = (100 + 50)% × 200

New price = 150/100 × 200

New price = $300.

Complete Question:

Identify whether the word in parenthesis is correct in relation to the rest of the sentence.

When a percent is "more than," (add) that percent to 100% before finding the percent of a number.
