5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37061.2
2) x%=23135.2
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%=37061.2/23135.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23135.2 is what percent of 37061.2
