5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16806.4
2) x%=51147.2
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%=16806.4/51147.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 51147.2 is what percent of 16806.4
