5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=485.99
2) x%=369.99
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%=485.99/369.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 369.99 is what percent of 485.99
