5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1467.87
2) x%=328.46
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%=1467.87/328.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 328.46 is what percent of 1467.87
