5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2581.09
2) x%=2182.32
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%=2581.09/2182.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2182.32 is what percent of 2581.09
