5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2327.27
2) x%=379.15
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%=2327.27/379.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 379.15 is what percent of 2327.27
