Suppose you purchased 100 shares of The Southern Companys common stock for $64.90 per share on January 3, 2022, the first day that the stock market was open for trading that year. During 2022, you received a cash dividend of $2.70 per share. At the end of the year, you sold each share of the Southern Company that you owned for $70.67 per share. You earned $270 in dividends, and you realized a $577 capital gain for a total dollar return of $847. Based on this information, what was the percentage that you generated from the dollar return? (You may round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.)
