5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=663.862
2) x%=104.24
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%=663.862/104.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 104.24 is what percent of 663.862
