The answer is:
D. -22.7, -3.516, 3.28, 43.9, 126
This is because the negative numbers are the lowest. You also have to look at where the decimal point is.
So, 43.9 has 43 before the decimal, so the number is bigger than 3.28 because only the 3 is behind the decimal. Also, 126 is the biggest because it is the only number that goes to the hundreds.

I'd say D because in the others the positive numbers are in the wrong place.
