Yeah convert it to multiplication, and remember that the base is always 1

"100% + 100%" = (1 + 100%) * (1 + 100%) = (1 + 1) * (1 + 1) = 2 * 2 = 4 = (1 + 3) = (1 + 300%) = "300%"

Your example is confusing because it's using 100%, but try it with smaller and less even numbers:

"5% + 9%" = 1.05 * 1.09 = 1.1445 = "14.45%"

So it's pretty clear that this extra .45% comes from the compounding math. And the extra 100% in your example works the same way.
