5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24461.14
2) x%=426.6
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%=24461.14/426.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 426.6 is what percent of 24461.14
