5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13059
2) x%=20981.26
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%=13059/20981.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20981.26 is what percent of 13059
