5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34533
2) x%=5462.05
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%=34533/5462.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5462.05 is what percent of 34533
