yes in terms of math. To say something is a percent of something else is to say how many one hundredths of it there is. for instance 60 is 120% of 50. in terms of everyday things probably not. Like to say a bowl is more than one hundred percent full would not be true if it is a liquid because that would mean its overflowing but if its say a food item it could be if its heaping.

Can an amount be decreased by more than 100 percent?
No, an amount cannot be decreased by more than 100 percent. To decrease by more than 100 percent would mean that the amount is actually going into the negative values, which is not possible in most contexts. A decrease of 100 percent means that the amount is reduced to zero.
Can 120 percent be a probabilty?
No. No percentage higher than 100 percent is possible. Out of 100 occurrences it is impossible to obtain an answer of more than the totality of the occurrences.
Is 1 one third greater than 145 percent?
no, a percent is always out of 100 if the percent is grater than 100 than it is more than 1 and a fraction is always less than one unless the numerator is grater than the denominator.
What number is 3 more than 20 percent of 100?
23
100 plus 15 percent equals 115 yet 115 minus 15 percent equals less than 100?
Yes that's right."Percent" is always "percent OF" something. It always refers to the starting number.Since 115 is larger than 100, 15% OF 115 is more than 15% OF 100.
