5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=265922.1
2) x%=7237.1
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%=265922.1/7237.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7237.1 is what percent of 265922.1
