5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14974.7
2) x%=6391.11
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%=14974.7/6391.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6391.11 is what percent of 14974.7

100=2.343051520002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.343051520002) to get x
100/2.343051520002=x
42.679385897547=x
x=42.679385897547

now we have:
