5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=648.26
2) x%=368.54
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%=648.26/368.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 368.54 is what percent of 648.26
