5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=805.88
2) x%=1540.26
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%=805.88/1540.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1540.26 is what percent of 805.88
