5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13999.8
2) x%=11905.4
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%=13999.8/11905.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11905.4 is what percent of 13999.8
