Documenting the Translation Steps for Missing Invoice Amounts

Imagine you are creating a training manual for new bookkeeping staff. You need to explain how to reconstruct a missing invoice total when given only the tax rate and the tax amount. Using the specific example problem "{}8.5% of what amount is {}4.76?", write a short explanation that recalls and lists the exact steps to translate this sentence into a mathematical equation. Be sure to state what each specific part of the sentence translates to (the percent, the word 'of', the phrase 'what amount', and the word 'is') and provide the final equation.
