5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5239.79
2) x%=58.27
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%=5239.79/58.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.27 is what percent of 5239.79
