5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27292.5
2) x%=3279.36
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%=27292.5/3279.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3279.36 is what percent of 27292.5
