5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.816
2) x%=5618.33
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%=21.816/5618.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5618.33 is what percent of 21.816
