5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15189.3
2) x%=5189.3
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%=15189.3/5189.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5189.3 is what percent of 15189.3
