5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5122.69
2) x%=1702.81
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%=5122.69/1702.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1702.81 is what percent of 5122.69
