5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17234.05
2) x%=271.11
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%=17234.05/271.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 271.11 is what percent of 17234.05
