5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13415.5
2) x%=1717.49
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%=13415.5/1717.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1717.49 is what percent of 13415.5
