To convert the decimal 0.98550 (assuming it is 0.98550 rather than 0.9, 8, 50.985) to a fraction and a percent, let's analyze it step-by-step.

1. **Convert to a fraction:**
The decimal can be broken down into two parts: the whole number part, the non-repeating decimal part, and the repeating decimal part.

Since it appears that we are converting just 0.98550, we can treat that whole number as follows:

\[
0.98550 = \frac{98550}{100000}
\]

Now, we can simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 98550 and 100000. The GCD is 50. Divide both numerator and denominator by 50:

\[
\frac{98550 \div 50}{100000 \div 50} = \frac{1971}{2000}
\]

So the fraction in simplest form is:

**Fraction: \(\frac{1971}{2000}\)**.

2. **Convert to a percent:**
To convert the decimal to a percent, you multiply it by 100:

\[

In summary:
- **Fraction:** \(\frac{1971}{2000}\)
- **Percent:** 98.55%
