5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.465
2) x%=2372.86
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%=23.465/2372.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2372.86 is what percent of 23.465
