How can you tell whether the percent of a number will be greater than, less than, or equal to the number? give examples to support your answer.

If the percent is more than 100%, it will be greater than the number. Example:
110% of 50 = 55
If the percent is less than 100%, it will be less than the number. Example: 
90% of 50 = 45
If the percent is equal to 100%, it will be equal to the number: Example:
100% of 50 = 50

Hope this helps.
