Have a look at the explanation about percentages

Explanation:

Percent( written normally as %) is: If something is split into 100 equal parts how many of that 100 do you have.

It is another way of writing a fraction but a fraction where the bottom number (denominator) is fixed at 100.

Splitting 4400 into 100 equally sized parts

#4400/100#

You have 8 of them giving

#8xx4400/100 = 352#

So, out of the 4400 you have 352 of them.
