Percents larger than 100% do of course exist. However, it depends very much on the context. For example, if items in a store have 20% markup, they are selling for 120% of the cost price. However, if you're running an experiment to see for instance how much percent of a drug has been dissolved in solution, if you get over 100%, you know that something is wrong with the tablet, the method or the instrument

Is 100 percent larger than 1?

Yes, 100 percent is larger than 1. Specifically, 100 percent of a value is equivalent to that value itself, while 1 represents a fraction of that value. For example, 100 percent of 1 is 1, but 100 percent of 100 is 100, which is significantly larger than 1. Thus, in terms of percentage, 100 percent is indeed larger than 1.
