Well, I don't know.

Let's think about it.

100% of anything is all of it.

More than 100% of anything is more than it.

100% of a number is all of the number.

More than 100% of a number is more than the number.

If 100% of the number is 52, then 52 is all of the number.

If more than 100% of the number is 52, then 52 is more than the number.

(So the number is less than 52.)
