5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12886
2) x%=3270.96
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%=12886/3270.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3270.96 is what percent of 12886
