5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2490.36
2) x%=1840.28
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%=2490.36/1840.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1840.28 is what percent of 2490.36

(100/x)*x=(2490.36/1840.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3532505923012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3532505923012) to get x
100/1.3532505923012=x
73.89614352945=x
x=73.89614352945

now we have:
