Explanation

If the smaller number is 100, the first number is 120,
and the percentage that the smaller number is less than the greater number can be calculated by taking 20% of the first number and dividing it by the first number,
and then multiplying the result by 100%.
This gives a result of approximately 16 2/3%."
