5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19504
2) x%=16642.53
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%=19504/16642.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16642.53 is what percent of 19504
