5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27967.33
2) x%=787.2
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%=27967.33/787.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 787.2 is what percent of 27967.33
