5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39945.55
2) x%=3.31
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%=39945.55/3.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
