5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28400
2) x%=4839.64
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%=28400/4839.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4839.64 is what percent of 28400
