5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5733.97
2) x%=62.55
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%=5733.97/62.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.55 is what percent of 5733.97
