5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2336.88
2) x%=1340.09
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%=2336.88/1340.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1340.09 is what percent of 2336.88
