5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6000.83
2) x%=5166.79
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%=6000.83/5166.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5166.79 is what percent of 6000.83

(100/x)*x=(6000.83/5166.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1614232434452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1614232434452) to get x
100/1.1614232434452=x
86.101255992921=x
x=86.101255992921

now we have:
