5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1539.95
2) x%=1585.81
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%=1539.95/1585.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1585.81 is what percent of 1539.95

(100/x)*x=(1539.95/1585.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97108102483904*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97108102483904) to get x
100/0.97108102483904=x
102.97801876684=x
x=102.97801876684

now we have:
