5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1853.74
2) x%=434.49
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%=1853.74/434.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 434.49 is what percent of 1853.74
