5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17348.51
2) x%=279.22
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%=17348.51/279.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 279.22 is what percent of 17348.51
