5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.652
2) x%=2981.59
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%=17.652/2981.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2981.59 is what percent of 17.652

100/0.0059203310985078=x
16890.94720145=x
x=16890.94720145

now we have:
