Most certainly MASS-percentage (%m/m) is meant:
NH3 contains 14/17 = 82.4%(m/m) Nitrogen
NH4NO3 contains 2*14/80 = 35.0%(m/m) Nitrogen
If, however, number of N atoms compared to total atoms are involved:
NH3 contains 1/4 = 25% Nitrogen atoms
NH4NO3 contains 2/9 = 22.2% Nitrogen atoms
So in both cases there is more (%) N in NH3 than in NH4NO3
Ammonium nitrate cannot be used directly in the preparation of ammonia because it is already a salt that contains both ammonium ((NH_4^+)) and nitrate ((NO_3^-)) ions. To produce ammonia, you need a source of nitrogen, hydrogen, or both that can react to form ammonia through processes like Haber-Bosch synthesis. Ammonium nitrate is typically used as a nitrogen fertilizer or in explosives, but not in the direct production of ammonia.
Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with nitric acid (HNO3). Ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
When ammonia reacts with ammonium nitrate, it forms ammonium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate, as shown in the equation: NH3 + NH4NO3 -> NH4OH + NH4NO3
Ammonium nitrate has a percent composition of approximately 35% nitrogen and 69.3% oxygen. The remaining percentage is made up of hydrogen and ammonium ions.
Nitric acid is mixed with ammonia (an alkali) to produce ammonium nitrate, a common nitrogen fertilizer. The reaction between nitric acid and ammonia is exothermic and generates heat. The product, ammonium nitrate, is a soluble compound that provides plants with nitrogen for growth.

Ammonia nitrate is used as fertilizer; ammonium nitrite is only a contaminant.

The gas evolved when ammonium chloride and sodium nitrate are heated together is nitrogen gas (N2). This reaction results in the decomposition of ammonium chloride and sodium nitrate to form nitrogen gas, water vapor, and sodium chloride.
Ammonium nitrate contains 35% nitrogen by weight.
Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
One alternative name for ammonium nitrate is "NH4NO3."
Ammonium nitrate has a percent composition of approximately 35% nitrogen and 69.3% oxygen. The remaining percentage is made up of hydrogen and ammonium ions.
Nitric acid can be added to ammonia to convert it into ammonium nitrate. This reaction forms ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, which is a common fertilizer.
Nitric acid is mixed with ammonia (an alkali) to produce ammonium nitrate, a common nitrogen fertilizer. The reaction between nitric acid and ammonia is exothermic and generates heat. The product, ammonium nitrate, is a soluble compound that provides plants with nitrogen for growth.
