Suppose a stock had an initial price of $$36\mathrm{.}71$ per share, paid a dividend of $$2\mathrm{.}23$ per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $$32\mathrm{.}76.$ Compute the percentage total return. Answer as a percentage to two decimals $($if you get $-0\mathrm{.}0435,$ you should answer $-4\mathrm{.}35).$

$-4\mathrm{.}68$
