5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19793.43
2) x%=2842.6
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%=19793.43/2842.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
