5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7861.02
2) x%=451.87
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%=7861.02/451.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 451.87 is what percent of 7861.02
