A percentage is a ratio, that can be written as a fraction, or as a decimal
%2298%25%22 is 98%2F100 and 98%2F100=0.98 ,
%2278%25%22 is 78%2F100 and 78%2F100=0.78 , and
%2224%25%22 is 24%2F100 and 24%2F100=0.24 .

A. 0.98%2Ablank=245 <--> blank=245%2F0.98 --> blank=highlight%28250%29
b. 0.78%2Ablank=319.8 <--> blank=319.8%2F0.78 --> blank=highlight%28410%29
A. 0.24%2Ablank=0.36 <--> blank=0.36%2F0.24 --> blank=highlight%281.5%29
