5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34800
2) x%=16763.42
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%=34800/16763.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16763.42 is what percent of 34800
