5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6794.06
2) x%=237.79
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%=6794.06/237.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 237.79 is what percent of 6794.06
