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%=7268.17/5515.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5515.09 is what percent of 7268.17
