5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25105.7
2) x%=873.47
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%=25105.7/873.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 873.47 is what percent of 25105.7
