5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=97172.4
2) x%=19515.2
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%=97172.4/19515.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19515.2 is what percent of 97172.4
