5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2179.57
2) x%=476.46
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%=2179.57/476.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 476.46 is what percent of 2179.57
