5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3719.25
2) x%=61.85
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%=3719.25/61.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.85 is what percent of 3719.25
