5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14578.7
2) x%=10285.4
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=14578.7/10285.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10285.4 is what percent of 14578.7
