5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11140.49
2) x%=946.6
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%=11140.49/946.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 946.6 is what percent of 11140.49
