5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4887.15
2) x%=947.52
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%=4887.15/947.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 947.52 is what percent of 4887.15
