5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4896.75
2) x%=2399.9
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%=4896.75/2399.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2399.9 is what percent of 4896.75
