5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1976.38
2) x%=1592.77
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%=1976.38/1592.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1592.77 is what percent of 1976.38
