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%=17433.5/1115.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1115.75 is what percent of 17433.5
