A percent greater than 100 could be 150%.

Lets say part is 15

15 is 150% of what?

is/of=%/100

fill in that and cross multiply to find "of"

15/x=150/100

x should equal 10.

I'm not sure exactly what your asking but if you are supposed to just make up numbers? And solve for it? That should be what you're looking for. Good luck I guess!
