5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2199.25
2) x%=1705.82
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%=2199.25/1705.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1705.82 is what percent of 2199.25
