5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=61500
2) x%=34787.91
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%=61500/34787.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34787.91 is what percent of 61500
