5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10756.5
2) x%=5946.8
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%=10756.5/5946.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5946.8 is what percent of 10756.5
