5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24131.12
2) x%=300.38
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%=24131.12/300.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 300.38 is what percent of 24131.12
