If percentages are fractions, yes, probably. But if these mean
"1 in (every) 2", "99 per 100", etc., then I don't think it
follows. As far as I can see they can be either importing,
claiming that there actually are 100 (or however many), or
nonimporting claiming only that when there are 100, 99 per
100 are broda.

I'm not sure whether "more than (x per y)" makes sense. Probably
its gobbledygook.

Yes.
