Is there any way I can work out what % when finished ?

I got the coopers real ale kit and I took my OG reading before adding the yeast as per instructions how ever it was 0.990 I have seen over posts which state theirs were around the 1.040 mark a this is my first time I'm worried I've made a mistake mine seems really low

I got the standard coopers real ale I took the reading before adding yeast as instructed and I got a reading of 0.990 but compared to all other posts I've seen this is really low I've seen people stating that their OG is around 1.040 as this is my first time I'm getting worried I've messed it up

Hi all I need help I'm new to all this brewing my own ale and everything and when I tested my brew after 24 hours I had a hydrometer reading of 1.004 stored at 24C however I pretty sure I may of made a mistake when taking my OG reading. How can I find out the alcohol content now? Please help
