5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63500
2) x%=20956.25
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%=63500/20956.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20956.25 is what percent of 63500
