5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21519.08
2) x%=67.87
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%=21519.08/67.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.87 is what percent of 21519.08
