5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7197.25
2) x%=302.28
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%=7197.25/302.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 302.28 is what percent of 7197.25
