+55 I hear people say they give 110% effort and then my teacher says that is impossible.
100% is the most effort you can give.
But then I heardt that the new price is 150 percent of the old price but you can't have 150% because my teacher told me, so it doesn't make any sence 
+1316 A philosophical concept is a way to look at something or see something that is not obvious when first observed. In this case it would seem like you can’t give more than everything, you can’t give more than 100% because 100% is all you have.
This particular philosophical concept gives an idea that you have more than what you think you have. It is just hidden and you haven’t found it yet. It is saying to you Look for this hidden value that is inside of you. After you find it then you have increased your percentage to 110% maybe more.
+1316 One is a philosophical concept and the other is a mathematical one.
If someone say they want you to do 110%. It just means they want you to do better than you think you are able to.
It is true that most people can do more than they think they can.That is how we learn.
+55 Thansk Dragonlance 
but what is philosophical concept? and how can there be 150%.
I still don't understand
+1316 I will answer the math question first
If you have a dollar that would be 100 pennies. If someone gave you 50 more pennies then you have 50% more and your total amount would be 150% of what you started with.
Some people live in places that do not have dollars or pennies. The same thing is true if you had marbles or anything that you can count.
I need to think how to explain what a philosophical concept is it. I will answer in a few minutes.

+55 Thank you Dragonlance. I think I have got it.
So if I have 1 little dog, that is 100 % of a dog but if I have a really BIG dog then I have maybe 200% of a dog. But the little dog can't be more than 100% because it is already full grown. If it goes silly and makes a lot of noise then some people would say it is 110% of a dog but they are just being silly. 
+1316 You would probably need a little different concept for the dog idea.
I suppose if a person is use to dogs of a smaller size and they saw one that was much larger then they might say that is a dog and a half or two dog in one. Its not that they really think that, it just a way to explain how they see the dog.
After rereading what I wrote above I think I gave a 110% effort in writing what a philosophical concept is. hahaha
I had no idea I could write something like that. I really didn’t! :/
