5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1494.52
2) x%=1295.61
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%=1494.52/1295.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1295.61 is what percent of 1494.52
