5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10752.9
2) x%=5497.2
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%=10752.9/5497.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5497.2 is what percent of 10752.9
