23%2F20....Because the numerator (top part) is larger than the denominator, you know it will be more than 100%.
let percent be x%; Since percentages are really just fractions with the denominator of 100, we can say x%2F100
so, we can write
23%2F20=x%2F100.......turn the denominator from a 20 to a 100

23%2A5%2F%2820%2A5%29=x%2F100

115%2F100=x%2F100.....since denominators same, nominators must be same too; so,

x=115%
