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%=60746.1/27442.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27442.8 is what percent of 60746.1
