680/11%68011%

Explanation:

I think the easiest way to do this is by using proportions.

In this case, 5555 is the original and 3434 is part of 5555, so 5555 would be 100%100% and 3434 would be x%x%.

(55/100)(55100) = (34/x)(34x)

Using cross multiplication you get:

55x = 340055x=3400

11x = 68011x=680

x = 680/11x=68011

So 3434 is 680/11%68011% of 5555.
