5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.17
2) x%=48703.54
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%=11.17/48703.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48703.54 is what percent of 11.17
