5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5061.16
2) x%=5023.77
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%=5061.16/5023.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5023.77 is what percent of 5061.16
