5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1803.93
2) x%=11.59
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%=1803.93/11.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.59 is what percent of 1803.93
