5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=190.95
2) x%=42002.52
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%=190.95/42002.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 42002.52 is what percent of 190.95
