5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54845.02
2) x%=314.54
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%=54845.02/314.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 314.54 is what percent of 54845.02
