5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10231.58
2) x%=156.21
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%=10231.58/156.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 156.21 is what percent of 10231.58
