5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14853.2
2) x%=8999.21
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%=14853.2/8999.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8999.21 is what percent of 14853.2
