Answer: 44%

Explanation:

22 is the smallest of the two numbers, and you want that number as a percentage of the sum of the two numbers. So basically it is asking you to put 22/(22+28) as a percentage. The step by step is as follows:

1. Simplify denominator

22+28 = 50

2. Rewrite the fraction so that the numerator is out of 100

22/50 = 44/100

3. Convert this new fraction to percentage

44/100= 44%

Hope this helps!!
