5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5072.51
2) x%=1821.71
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%=5072.51/1821.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1821.71 is what percent of 5072.51
