5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12734.8
2) x%=2546.8
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%=12734.8/2546.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2546.8 is what percent of 12734.8
