5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5170.25
2) x%=4083.33
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%=5170.25/4083.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4083.33 is what percent of 5170.25
