5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36425
2) x%=8981.97
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%=36425/8981.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8981.97 is what percent of 36425
