5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1866.42
2) x%=274.84
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%=1866.42/274.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 274.84 is what percent of 1866.42
