5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38881.2
2) x%=8331.03
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%=38881.2/8331.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8331.03 is what percent of 38881.2
