5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5693.41
2) x%=178.91
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%=5693.41/178.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 178.91 is what percent of 5693.41
