5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7172.58
2) x%=1374.12
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%=7172.58/1374.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1374.12 is what percent of 7172.58
