5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=870000
2) x%=320340.9
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%=870000/320340.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 320340.9 is what percent of 870000
