How to interpret TOP

Hi,


So I am new to Unix, and I need to check the performance of some apps I am running. But I don't know how to interpret the output from TOP.

Could somebody please explain the difference between the different values. And also explain how I can have a process which has a %CPU > 100?


Thanks
