5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2620.65
2) x%=1511.64
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%=2620.65/1511.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1511.64 is what percent of 2620.65

(100/x)*x=(2620.65/1511.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7336469000556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7336469000556) to get x
100/1.7336469000556=x
57.681872817812=x
x=57.681872817812

now we have:
