5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10077.2
2) x%=5686.21
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%=10077.2/5686.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5686.21 is what percent of 10077.2
