5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1982.92
2) x%=49.57
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%=1982.92/49.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49.57 is what percent of 1982.92
