Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

A rational number can be written as a fraction of the form.


(a)/(b) \: where \: b \\e0

and a and b are integers.


9.99 = (999)/(100)

Hence in this case a=999 and b=100.

Since both are integers with b being a non-zero integer, we conclude that 9.99 is a rational number.
