5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2440.38
2) x%=2172.34
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%=2440.38/2172.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2172.34 is what percent of 2440.38
