5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3709.75
2) x%=1548.41
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%=3709.75/1548.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1548.41 is what percent of 3709.75
