5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17454.57
2) x%=827.7
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%=17454.57/827.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 827.7 is what percent of 17454.57
