5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27500
2) x%=14665.83
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%=27500/14665.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14665.83 is what percent of 27500
