5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2700.74
2) x%=5585.31
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%=2700.74/5585.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5585.31 is what percent of 2700.74
