5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5553.77
2) x%=82.49
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%=5553.77/82.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82.49 is what percent of 5553.77
