5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39.473
2) x%=5963.17
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%=39.473/5963.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5963.17 is what percent of 39.473
