5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36681.8
2) x%=156.91
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%=36681.8/156.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 156.91 is what percent of 36681.8
