Answer:

  • fraction: 98/100 = 49/50
  • decimal: 0.98
  • percent: 98%

Explanation:

The fraction will represent the number of shaded squares over the total number of squares. You have correctly identified it as 98/100. That fraction can be reduced, if you like, to 49/50.

The pronunciation of your fraction is "ninety-eight hundredths." The decimal number with that same pronunciation is 0.98.

The symbol % and the symbol /100 have identical meaning. This makes them essentially interchangeable.

98/100 = 98%

Your numbers are ...

98/100 (or 49/50), 0.98, and 98%.

_____

Additional comment

We have shown you that % is a shorthand way to write /100. There is another similar symbol: ‰ is shorthand for /1000.

1/100 is one percent. 1/1000 is one mil.
