5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1711.84
2) x%=420.49
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%=1711.84/420.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 420.49 is what percent of 1711.84
