Related: About this forumRe Hillary's most admired status
The percentage is the percent of the total which is 100 that got compared to all the other women listed. It is not like a political poll.
If the number of women were less her percentage would go up as a percent of the total. The opposite is true.

There's a lot of confusion about that, as far as you know.
