Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

When the numerator is less than the denominator, the result is always less than 1, that is 0. something and this will give a percentage less than 100, but when the numerator is greater than the denominator, th result is greater than 1, and any figure greater than 1 gives a percentage that is greater than 100

example

Numerator >Denominator

=4/2*100

=2*100

=200%

Numerator <Denominator

=2/4*100

=0/5*100

=50%
