5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18747.95
2) x%=31.13
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%=18747.95/31.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31.13 is what percent of 18747.95
