Given:
Number of Employees = 100
Number of Managers = 99% = 99
Number of non-managers = 100 - 99 = 1
Now, Let there be x employees remaining so that managers = 98%
Therefore, non-managers = 100 - 98 = 2%
Also non-managers count didn't change, so = 2% = 1
Which implies => 2% of x = 1
2x = 100
x = 50
Which means number of managers = 50 - 1 = 49
So, number of managers who left the room = 99 - 49 = 50

Suppose total persons : 100
So managers are 99% means 99 only 1 person is non manager

if a manager left one by one then

Then when half of the managers left(50) then percentage of the mangers become become 98%

49/50 = .98%
