Denmark, kinkajou, ugli fruit!

How it works: no matter what number you choose to begin with, after going through the multiplying and subtracting gyrations your answer will always be 4, corresponding to D. The rest is just common association, most people will think:

D - Denmark; K - kangaroo; O - orange

which indeed is the 98% result.
