5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3952.43
2) x%=514.36
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%=3952.43/514.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 514.36 is what percent of 3952.43
