Answer:

Percent of the crayons were not broken = 99 %

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of the first school day, Mr. Davies, a first grade teacher, inspected his classroom crayons. 2 of the 200 crayons were broken.

Total number of crayons = 200

Number of crayons broken = 2

Number of crayons not broken = 200 - 2 = 198

We need to find what percent of the crayons were not broken

$\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{\texttt{Number of crayons not broken}}{\texttt{Total number of crayons}}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{198}{200}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{198}{2}=99\%$

Percent of the crayons were not broken = 99 %
