Help, I’m terrible with percentages

Bob has a 1% chance of getting a prize from a cereal box, while the other prizes have a 99% chance for him to get. How many cereal boxes does Bob have to buy in order to get the prize? Show your work.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to find out something like “one in a million chance!”
