5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=280.61
2) x%=2298.85
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%=280.61/2298.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2298.85 is what percent of 280.61
