5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=450000
2) x%=68174.24
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%=450000/68174.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68174.24 is what percent of 450000
