Answer: 40%

Explanation:

Let the percentage of 22 that gives 8.8 = x% ---------------------------1

Therefore,

x% of 22 = x/100 x 22 ------------------2

since this gives 8.8, we now equate to equation 2

x/100 x 22 = 8.8

(22 x X )/100 = 8.8

22x/100 = 8,8

Now cross multiply to solve for x

22x = 8.8 x 100

22x = 880

Now divide through by 22 to get the require value of x

x = 880/22

x = 40%
