5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1011.93
2) x%=2386.97
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%=1011.93/2386.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2386.97 is what percent of 1011.93
