How Excel calculates the top 10% of values in Conditional Formatting

I want to get a better understanding of the "top 10%" feature in Conditional Formatting in Excel - this is my understanding, it takes the full range and identifies the entries that correspond to the highest 10% in value i.e. the products with prices that fall into the top 10% of the range. Or is it something else?

I believe percentiles are used to calculate the top-n%.
