5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2491.16
2) x%=68.69
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%=2491.16/68.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.69 is what percent of 2491.16
