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%=12150.62/6236.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6236.1 is what percent of 12150.62
