5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=530000
2) x%=17768.96
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%=530000/17768.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17768.96 is what percent of 530000
