Step-by-step explanation

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide -22 by 100 and remove the % sign.
$- 22 % = \frac{- 22}{100}$

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.
$- 22 % = - 0.22$

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

$100 % = 1126$
$- \frac{22}{100} \cdot 1126 = - 0.22 \cdot 1126 = - 247.72$

-22% of 1,126 is -247.72
