5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21500
2) x%=27497.22
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%=21500/27497.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27497.22 is what percent of 21500
