5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=199000
2) x%=12251.54
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%=199000/12251.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12251.54 is what percent of 199000
