Final answer:

If the percentage is larger than the base, the percent will not be greater than 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, if the percentage is larger than the base, the percent will not be greater than 100%. Let's take an example to understand this. If the base is 100 and the percentage is 150, we can calculate the percent as (150/100) * 100 = 150%. So, the percent will be 150% which is greater than the base but not greater than 100%. Therefore, the answer is option b. It would be less than 100 percent.
