5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.952
2) x%=8534.18
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%=35.952/8534.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8534.18 is what percent of 35.952
