Jaffar is not correct. The way to compare numbers is to start with the greatest place first and compare the digits in that place. If the digits are the same, move on to the next digit to the right. In this case, the digit 2 is in the hundreds place in 200. There is no digit in the hundreds place in 99. This is the same as having 0 in the hundreds place. So we can compare the digits in the hundreds place. 2 is greater than 0, so 200 is greater than 99.
