5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8420.28
2) x%=1603.22
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%=8420.28/1603.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1603.22 is what percent of 8420.28
