5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=242050
2) x%=16125.3
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%=242050/16125.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16125.3 is what percent of 242050
