5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26000
2) x%=57417.76
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%=26000/57417.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57417.76 is what percent of 26000
