Divide 22 into 8
Put a decimal point to the right of the 8 and add 4 zeros (8.0000)
Since 22 won't go into 8 you have to start your answer with a decimal point
Bring down the first 0 (80)
22 goes into 80 three times so now your answer reads .3
3 x 22 = 66 so subtract 66 from 80 = 14.  22 won't go into 14 to bring down your next 0 (140)
22 goes into 140 six times so now your answer reads .36
6 x 22 = 132 so subtract 132 from 140 = 8.  22 won't go into 8 so bring down the next 0 (80
22 goes into 80 three times so your answer is now .363  22 x 3 = 66.  80 - 66 = 14
bring down your last 0 (140) and divide by 22 (6) so now your answer is .3636 (this is a REPEATING number which means you can divide forever and the next answers will be 36, 36, 36 etc.)
To convert decimal to percentage multiply by 100 or simply move decimal 2 numbers to the right  and add % sign (36.36) .3 is the 10th percentage place so round the last 6 up and the answer become 36.4%
