Step-by-step explanation

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide 8.722 by 100 and remove the % sign.
$8.722 % = \frac{8.722}{100}$

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.
$8.722 % = 0.08722$

2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

$100 % = - 3.56$
$\frac{8.722}{100} \cdot - 3.56 = 0.08722 \cdot - 3.56 = - 0.3105032$

8.722% of -3.56 is -0.3105032
