5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2194.85
2) x%=131.69
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%=2194.85/131.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.69 is what percent of 2194.85
