5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95022.61
2) x%=15.42
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%=95022.61/15.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.42 is what percent of 95022.61
