5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=103.489
2) x%=176.96
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%=103.489/176.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 176.96 is what percent of 103.489
