You can put this solution on YOUR website! A percentage is a ratio of one number to another, expressed in  's. So, if the first number is bigger than another, then the percentage would be above 100. For example, if your car can go 60 mph and you expected it to go only 50 mph, then it will go at 120% the expected speed.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes. A percentage represents the ratio of part to whole, multiplied by 100. The ratio of part to whole is expressed in the form of a fraction. If the fraction is improper, i.e. numerator greater than denominator, then the resulting percentage will be greater than 100.
