Default How can Excel generate more decimal points ie 5.5% not 5%

I need excel to calculate a simple formula (=(B8-C8)/C8) to give me 5.5%
and not just 5%. How can I do this?

Format the cell. Right click on the cell, choose Format Cells..., go to the
Number tab, and specify the number of decimal places.
