5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=218.62
2) x%=1273.93
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%=218.62/1273.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1273.93 is what percent of 218.62
