More. You body produces CO2 through metabolism, and this is carried through the blood via haemoglobin, where it is released into the air through the lungs. You also expell most of the CO2 that you inhale.

The percentage exhaled is more as breathing is body's way to get rid of the excess co2.

yes its more
when you breathe in, the oxygen and other things in the air are transferred into the bloodstream, and the byproduct is carbon dioxide
then, this toxic byproduct is transferred out of the system through exhalation

If it were less, then you wouldnät have any oxigen for respiration-depending mechanism. And your blood pH would reach sky high basic values (CO2 is a base, whereas oxygen is acidic!)

more. when we breathe in, we convert the oxygen in the air to CO2, increasing the amount coming out

It's more, but not so high a proportion as all that or we'd not be able to give mouth to mouth resuscitation!
