5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2810.98
2) x%=264.9
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%=2810.98/264.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 264.9 is what percent of 2810.98

(100/x)*x=(2810.98/264.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.61147602869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.61147602869) to get x
100/10.61147602869=x
9.4237596852343=x
x=9.4237596852343

now we have:
