1/99 as a percentage is 1.01%. This tiny fraction represents just a little over one percent of a whole, so it’s useful when you need to talk about very small parts of something.
When you see 1/99 in a problem, think of it as a sliver of the total amount—almost like finding one tiny piece out of a puzzle that has 99 pieces. In everyday life, this might show up when you split a bill among many people or calculate a very small interest rate.
Because the number is so small, rounding it to two decimal places (1.01%) makes it easier to read and compare with other percentages. It’s a handy way to keep numbers clear without losing much accuracy.
