5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3153.63
2) x%=2621.34
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%=3153.63/2621.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2621.34 is what percent of 3153.63

(100/x)*x=(3153.63/2621.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2030602668864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2030602668864) to get x
100/1.2030602668864=x
83.121355390455=x
x=83.121355390455

now we have:
