5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5258.18
2) x%=3421.17
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%=5258.18/3421.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3421.17 is what percent of 5258.18
