5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=404540
2) x%=12220.3
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%=404540/12220.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12220.3 is what percent of 404540
