5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=277456.3
2) x%=187.04
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%=277456.3/187.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 187.04 is what percent of 277456.3
