5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55000
2) x%=28653.33
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%=55000/28653.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28653.33 is what percent of 55000
